Ok, so let me to summarize this if I got it right:

1. We will provide possibility for users to have modifier-only shortcuts if they \
really want it, the question if it's for everything or just for kxkb

2 The default chosen shortcut for layout switching will be "proper" \
not-a-modifier-only shortcut, but which is easy to press with two fingers on one \
hand. Current two proposals: Ctrl+Menu and Alt+Shift. First one is very like \
Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift often used by Win users but have problem of not being present \
on older keyboards.

3. Alternative to 2 could be still modifier-only Alt+Alt (as used in gnome) as this \
combination is not used (correct me if I am wrong) in any other shortcut combination \
so no "accident switching will happen".
