One problem is I sometimes forget to change back to let say US KB. I thought of having an xmessage display when I have switched the kb layout. In the command line for the applet where I have e.g. "setxkbmap de" I tried to add " xmessage Kb set DE" which does not work. Is there a way to put 2 commands or more in a command line applet? The problem with the keyboard indicator applet on the gnome panel is that it will only change when one first gets to properties on the applet. That is in 2 of my distros. Previous applets did work well including showing of country flags.
