Details

I want to have multiple layouts, but it just seems impossible. English takes precedence for some reason. System settings do not have any impact. They are completely ignored by gnome 3.

The example on archlinux wiki does not list multiple keyboard layout settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. I need se, en, ru. But seems impossible for the time being. I guess gnome 3 does not separate keyboard layouts and regional settomgs. Gnome 3 can only handle regional settings. To be absolutely clear, I would prefer gnome to show the menus in English, but use a Swedish keyboard layout.

Seems it is a common gnome bug in libxklavier: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxklavier/+bug/960096 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649377 to list just a few hits from google. Trying if possible to downgrade libxklavier to see if it resolvs the issue.

Downgrading did not resolv the issue, Panel disappears completely.

After scrutinizing the homepage I see that in testing the new kernel has some gpio changes for keyboards. Might also be a cause to gnome 3 malfunctioning, as I get a lot of gpio errors logging out from a gnome session.

No effect whatsoever upgrading the kernel, gnome and xorg are in conflict.

I guess this inconsistency could also be avoided if gnome 3 had a way to save sessions when logging out. As it is now, you get errors when launching gnome-sesson:
$ gnome-session
gnome-session[3719]: WARNING: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SessionManager
