setxkbmap *defines* the layouts. Using it to *switch* between layouts is broken. IIRC KDE's default switcher was once broken in that sense.

Alt-Shift and such are handled by X. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
