That's more or less what I said in the meeting, but on digging into it
this morning, I figured there really is a bug here. In fact there are
two bugs.

Indeed you can't really show a graphic of an input method - but in that
case, the 'show layout' button *shouldn't be there at all* for list
entries that are input methods. Don't show a button that can't do
anything sensible. That's
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/849 .

Also, when you click on it, a crash happens. That's also a bug, and
it's https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgnomekbd/issues/1 .
