Hi Aere,

I tested Keyboard Layout Handler, and I encountered no problem with it. 
For the test, I added Bepo Layout (the dvorak french version as far I 
know) to my original french Layout. I was able to switch between them by 
pushing Shift + CapsLock or by simply clicking on the flag in the panel. 
The only problem which can be annoying is that when you are using two 
layouts from the same language, they use the same icon in lxpanel (but I 
can't see how it could be different).

What was your problem exactly ?

Kind Regards,
