It's far from clear how that works.

I figured it out recently.  Look in:
	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
Add keyboard map in:
	symbol
Edit:
	rules/xfree86.lst
To add a new keymap.

I'm considering checking in a change to the keyboard applet that makes
this clearer, but I've not received a response from the maintainer.
