I think it would add some nice flexibility if the layout code
could get overwritten on a per-token basis, just like the screen
resolution with utxconfig.

Yes. But I have still a small list of mysteries regarding
SRSS+Debian+keyboards and hope to find some time
to dive into it.
Why is [right shift] interpreted by gnome as a multimedia key?
Why do we need an old version of the xkb data package (the
"xkb-data-legacy" package in the Debian/Ubuntu world)?
Why is the Gnome keyboard layout applet not working?
(I would like to dynamically change the keyboard layout between US
English (my "programming mode") and German ("text writing mode")).
The applet is essentially a setxkbmap wrapper. My first guess is that
the standard tools (like setxkbmap) do not see the special maps
installed by srss.
Please, could someone who runs a supported Linux distro commment
whether the keyboard applet works for him?
