I confirm that manually editing the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/keypad
file to change the ossmath configuration (replacing FOUR_LEVEL_X with
CTRL+ALT and adding VoidSymbol in the entries fpr KPDV, KPMU, KPSU and
KPAD) and restarting the gnome session does solve the problem.

Once the Gnome session is restarted, the fr1/fr2 swith at in the top
bar of the gnome-shell desktop responds correctly, and the keyboard
layout switches accordingly, even in application already launched.

I hope the fix will be applied to the debian packaging of xkb.

Thanks a lot,
Luc
