I'm attaching a screenshot of the gnome-screensaver to clarify what I
was expecting.

As for scroll lock indicator, I'm on a Lenovo T400 laptop and Virtual
Box inside it, so I can't see any indicator when layout is not latin.
All I noticed was a warning sign when CAPSLOCK was on, in password
field, though that was not consistent (I tried to turn on and off the
CAPSLOCK, it was just flashing - probably expected as when you
manually switch you know you want to change it).

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
