> And that is good, but changing the keymap by clicking on KeymapSwitcher
or by using the right-click menu gives focus to the Deskbar, which is why
any method of changing keymap other than hotkeys seems useless right now.
Fixed in KeymapSwitcher 1.2.7.1
> And... changing keymaps too much while in Pe crashed the Deskbar. Syslog
needed?
Unfortunately, the keymap change event goes too long way (input filter ->
Deskbar replicant -> overwriting ~/config/settings/Key_map file with new
one -> forcing input_server to reload current keymap) so it is no wonder,
that frequent change of keymap may crash somewhere. :-( I suspect we have
to live with it.

> Another couple of things, the replicant should have a fixed size or
adapt to every keymap instead of adapting only to the first selected
keymap, as some keymap names can get cropped because of that. (try setting
"Italian" as the first one, "US-International" as the second one, install
the replicant and switch to see what I mean)
Fixed in KeymapSwitcher 1.2.7.2 that comes in some days in the optional
packages list.
> Also, "United Kingdom"'s keymap name should be "UK", not "Un".
The 2-letters language codes are related to the name of keymap files, but
the name of language. Current format of keymap file provide not so much
useful information that can be used for this purposes.
