Coincidentally, I've just finished writing a program (Kilt) to do this ve=

thing. It isn't part of KDM, but rather an icon that sits in the system t=

and lets you change the country/keyboard/language (a la KXKB) on the fly.

I've a couple more changes to make to the code this morning, and then I'l=

send a mail to kde-usability and see what people think about the idea.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of KXKB I've been unable to follow my=20
original plan and develop Kilt as a separate application. As such, my new=

plan is to replace KXKB completely; I've no idea how popular this idea is=

(coming from a developer who hasn't contributed any code to KDE before), =

I guess we'll soon find out. :)

Either way, you should be able to pretty much run Kilt without any change=

KDE.
