DNWFM (Did Not Work For Me) :-(
I tried to add various things, ending up with the following:
Option "XkbLayout" "us,he_IL"
Option "XkbVariant" ",si1452"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
(Muli's change only, then added ",he", then added the XkbVariant and
finally tried ",he_IL". None of them worked.)
Gnome's keyboard configuration seems to be in file
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/%gconf.xml
There is also the file:
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/desktop_gnome_peripherals_keyboard_xkb.schemas
which seems to be relevant and have an interesting comment (for Gnome
2.12).
Due to the comment, I tried to delete keyboard layouts in Gnome keyboard
configuration tool, and got an error message which mentions:
xkbcomp, xmodmap,
xprop -root | grep XKB,
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
I still do not know how to get Xorg to support Gnome in switching two
keyboards like XFree86.
