I would like to describe my solution of this problem.

Of course if you do not use xxkb and edit your file xorg.conf, then you can solve the \
problem of changing layouts,  but the KDE indicator will not show you the current \
layout. In notebooks without Scroll Lock indicator this is a problem (I think, not \
only on notebooks). This is the reason, why I want to solve the problem WITH standard \
(i.e., xxkb) methods.

First one should chose proper layouts in Control Center ---> Region and special \
properties ---> Keyboard layouts (sorry, I have KDE on my native language and \
translate it into English, probably this translation differs from the original, but \
not much). Then one should go to Control Center ---> Region and special properties \
---> Keyborad switches and check there the point "Switch to the next layout". By \
definition there combination there is Alt+Ctrl+K and this combination woks fine. If \
one (like I am) want to use another combination, he should chose Other and change the \
combination. But even in this case some persons will not be able to use their \
favorite combinations (Ctrl+Shift, for example). To use Ctrl+ Left Shift it is \
necessary to edit the following file (think that the path is the same in all \
systems): ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals 

and change there proper line by the following way:
 
"Switch to Next Keyboard Layout=Ctrl+Shift_L". 

Even in this case while changing you should press Ctrl first and then Left Shift, \
otherwise the combination will not work.

I do think that it is a strong bag of KDE and the developers should fix it.
