Adding a custom keyboard layout

[Dotan Cohen]

Hi all, I have written a custom keyboard layout that I'm trying to
install in Kubuntu 10.10. This is the layout:
http://dotancohen.com/eng/keyboard_layout.html

I have added the layout as /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/dotan and made
these changes:

In /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst I added this:
! layout
  dotan           Dotan
Of course, the !layout line was already there, I did not touch it.

In /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml I added this:

  <layoutList>

<layout>
  <configItem>
    <name>dotan</name>
    <shortDescription>Dotan</shortDescription>
    <description>Dotans Layout</description>
  </configItem>
</layout>

Of course, the <layoutList> line was already there, I did not touch it.

However, after a rebook I do not see the new layout in KDE's
configuration for these things. What did I miss or do wrong? Thanks!
