Patch, fixing the Alt+Shift behavior

I'm using Gentoo with xorg-server-1.16.4 and cinnamon-2.4.7, and am have multiple keyboard layouts.
I've set LeftAlt+LeftShift combination to switch between available layouts.

Since then I can't use keyboard shortcuts, with "Alt+Shift", for example Alt+Shift+Tab should switch between opened windows in reverse direction to Alt+Tab.

Attached patch fixes the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add multiple layouts
2. Set layout switch on Alt+Shift
3. Try to use Alt+Shift+Tab to switch between windows
Actual Results:  
Keyboard layout is switched, windows switched only in forward direction.

Expected Results:  
Keyboard layout stays the same, windows are switched in backward direction.

(Not sure if it is correctly implemented, but at least it works for me)
