Hi,
 I run debian sid. and xserver-xorg.
 
 I like to switch keyboards via keyboard shortcuts. For instance I put into my
 xorg.conf
 
 Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
         Driver "keyboard"
         Option "CoreKeyboard"
         Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
         Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
         Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
         Option "XkbCompat" "group_led"
         Option "XkbVariant" "lyx"
  Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
 
 Now all is fine in session-managers :
 gnome, xfce4-session, icewm-session
 
 however, even when I am in kde, it does not work. Clearly kde is overriding
 the xorg settings.
 
 Therefore I can't get the toggle other than with the gui clicking of the flag on the kde-keyboard-tool on the panel.
 
 Nothing I set in the configure kde control module does anything.
 
 Under Xkb options
 I have enable xkb options set:
 the Command displays
  setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp_led:scroll,grp:alt_shift_toggle
 which is similar to the above in xorg.conf.
 
 I am stuck with clicking the flag which is annoying.
 I understand that the kde wants to override xorg setting.
 So at least listen to its own setting :)
