Hotkeys ctrl + shift + [key] and switching languages ​​by ctrl + shift (solved)

Problem: When setting up switching layouts on ctrl + shift, keyboard shortcuts of the form ctrl + shift + refuse to work.
It turns out recently (just a month ago) Ilya Muravyov wrote a patch that corrects this misunderstanding. The bottom line is that switching the language after the patch is triggered not by pressing, but by releasing the ctrl + shift buttons.

The topic is about a bug four years ago on the launcher and on fredestop.org . The patch itself .

A little instruction for bubuntovodov:
create a folder for the sources and future .deb we go into it:
$ mkdir xorg-server
cd xorg-server

we get the sources
apt-get source xorg-server in it

install the packages needed to build
sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server

download the patch
wget bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=33142

install the patch
patch <attachment.cgi \? id \ = 33142
File to patch: xorg -server-1.6.4 / xkb / xkbActions.c we

collect (you may have a different folder, did it in ubuntu 9.10)
cd xorg-server-1.6.4 /
debuild -us -uc
cd ...
dpkg -i * .deb

debug pack of my assembly (for the lazy):

Only trust me if you trust me I provide guarantees.

PS I pulled it all out of the topic about ubuntu, I think many who are used to switching ctrl + shift will be interesting.

PPS Adapted the patch for 10.04, take here
