[Bug 86065] Re: setxkbmap only effects newly started applications

[Yuriy Kozlov]

Just saw this here
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=14015.0:

"Turn off xkbd - just remove or save somewhere else file
~/.kde/share/config/kxkbrc, then restart X server (Ctrl+Backspace), log
in into kde session and now you can switch keyboard layout with left
Alt+Shift. Note that Xorg keyboard switch doesn't work with kxkb, that's
why you have to turn off kxkb. To see what keyboard layout you actually
use install something like keyboard switcher (kkbswitch for instance)."

Maybe something needs to be updated in xkbd for the new xorg?
