Comment 2 for bug 1738859

Alright, it seems that the problem was in "layout: ru,us,us". When I switched to "layout: us" my gnome settings stopped affecting input so I switched it to the following:

➜ ~ sudo setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,ru
➜ ~ setxkbmap -query

rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: us,ru
options: grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll

With "us,ru" layout both switching in gnome works AND shortcuts in inkscape.
