Gnome 3.22: disable alt+shift keyboard layout switching

Okay, got it: this line in my /etc/default/keyboard

XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

.. should not contain grp:alt_shift_toggle, which is the relevant xkb option according to this post.

In addition, Gnome overrides xkb options according to this other post. As a consequence, this output:

$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
['grp:alt_shift_toggle','grp_led:scroll']

.. should not read grp:alt_shift_toggle on my machine either. So after I ran:

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options "['grp_led:scroll']"

I got my good'ol behaviour back ;)

I have filed this as a bug to Gnome.
