i tried viki from
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/suse/9.3/i386/suse/i586/viki-0.0-11.i586.html
It turns out that this tool already has most of the features that need
to be tweaked in the typing tutor.

It can already handle level 3/4 modifiers for phonetic keyboards as well.

It does not reload the keymap if you change it after you launched the app.
