Public bug reported:
gkbd-keyboard-display, which shows the current keyboard layout on Gnome
/ Unity desktop, doesn't handle keyboards with RTL characters well. See
the attached screenshot for the standard Hebrew keyboard, where the key
labeled "Y" should have "ט" on lower left (key pressed without
modifiers) and "װ" on lower right (key pressed with Alt). Currently both
characters are marked on top of each other on lower right, which makes
it impossible to distinguish what characters are created by the
keypress.
