That is a clear improvement! It still alters the previous
settings even after the new checkbox has been selected, but
I am able to restore the previous settings by selecting the
appropriate keyboard layouts and change layout options:


Previous settings (setxkbmap -query)

rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us(mac),ch(de_mac)
options:   
altwin:swap_lalt_lwin,lv3:rwin_switch,compose:ralt,grp:
alt_shift_toggle,compose:ralt,lv3:rwin_switch,altwin:
swap_lalt_lwin


Settings after installing lxpanel_0.5.10.8-1_amd64.deb:

rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us
variant:    ,
options:    grp:shift_caps_toggle


Settings after selecting checkbox and logout (note the
double settings for "grp:" which makes the new keyboard
layout handler's setting to take precedence over the
previously installed one):

rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us
variant:    ,
options:   
grp:shift_caps_toggle,altwin:swap_lalt_lwin,lv3:rwin_switch,
compose:ralt,grp:alt_shift_toggle,compose:ralt,lv3:
rwin_switch,altwin:swap_lalt_lwin


Settings after previous steps AND selecting appropriate
layouts and change layout settings:

rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us,ch
variant:    mac,de_mac
options:   
grp:alt_shift_toggle,altwin:swap_lalt_lwin,lv3:rwin_switch,
compose:ralt,grp:alt_shift_toggle,compose:ralt,lv3:
rwin_switch,altwin:swap_lalt_lwin


That's what I wanted! It would have been nice if the
previous settings would have taken precedence, but the
important thing is that they can be restored.


Just another small inconvenience that I have noticed while
(successfully!) restoring the previous settings: The Swiss
French keyboard layouts are hidden away under "German
(Switzerland)". I think it would be preferable to have all
Swiss layouts under a neutral ☺ label such as "Swiss". Btw,
thanks also for correcting the Swiss flag!
