If you use KDE you can configure the keyboard applet to change keyboard layouts on the fly.
With Gnome you can add "Keyboard Indicator" to the panel. If you are using a US
layout, you can add the US International Keyboard with dead keys. In this case the apostrophe,
double quote, carat, back quote all become dead keys. For example, if you have the US
International layout selected and you want to type the letter a with an umlaut, you would type
the " followed by the letter a: รค. If you want to type an apostrophe or the double quote,
etc., then type the ' character followed by the space bar.
Here is an article that gives more in depth information.

--What if you are using, say, the TWM window manager? There's got to be
a command line instruction which would accomplish the equivalent of
changing keyboards in KDE.
Good luck,
