[gentoo-user] Keyboard layout switching with Alt+Shift

[Nikos Chantziaras]

In KDE 3.5.10, I can't switch keyboard layouts with Alt+Shift even 
though that option is enabled in the control center:

  Regional & Accessibility->Keyboard Layout
  ->Xkb Option->Layout Switching->[x] Alt+Shift change layout.
The generated "Command" is:

  setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle

It works fine in KDE 4.1.3.  It even generates the same "Command". 
Furthermore, loading the KDE 4 keyboard layout applet in KDE 3 works and 
I can switch with Alt+Shift.  The KDE 3 one doesn't.  What am I missing?
