Hi E., and thank you,
This looks good. I just wonder if an unused key is available,
here. "Scroll Lock" is used to toggle a hard devise switching keyboard,
mouse and screen from one computer to another. Only Wikipedia knows what
are the keys used by KDE3/TDE :-) I'll try when some of the pebbles in
the shoe will be away…
Other options the GUI makes available for compose keys are: Caps Lock,
either CTRL, Alt, or Win key, Pause, PrnScr, or greater than/less than.
Most of these, along with several two-key combinations, are also available
for layout switching.
I expect you'll be able to find something that suits.
Good luck with the other problems.

Thanks a lot, E.

Hi all,
It does not work! When there is only the spanish possibility as
keyboard layout, I have to click on the icone to get spanish keyboard.
When kxkb is not used, the keyboard is allways américan. American
keyboard is nice but I need metacharacters! Is there a way to get
metacaracters with us keyboard?
You should be able to set a layout-switch hotkey through xkb directly.
The options used to be under Keyboard Layout -> Xkb Options in
the Control Center, or you can call setxkbmap from the command line.
You can also set a compose key this way, which will let you type
characters with accents and other diacritics using a US keyboard layout.
For instance, my system has Scroll Lock set as a compose key,
so if I want to type n-tilde (ñ), the corresponding key sequence is
Scroll Lock, ~, n. The corresponding setxkbmap command would
be: setxkbmap -option compose:sclk
