A few years ago i worked on the Keymap preflet and on a patch that modified the 
input server to be able to really switch between keymaps programatically. As 
far as i rememeber, it currently is done by overwriting the keymap file and 
asking the input server to fetch it again and this is what prevents a clean 
solution (the server has no knowledge of what the current keymap is or what is 
available). My patch wasn't really ready quality-wise for inclusion but might 
be a good start still, i'll try to find it if someone's interested.

Best regards,
Alex
