KDE doesn't switch between keyboard layouts in FreeBSD

Hi,

I am using 'KDE Keyboard Tool' on FreeBSD-7.0.
I have US layout and Cyrillic layouts selected.
And on "Xkb Options" tab I selected "Both
Shift Keys together change layout"

But when I press both Shifts layout doesn't change.

Anyone has this working?

Yuri

I guess it could be the same problem we have with the Greek
keyboard 
layout.
It is worth a try.

Edit the file:

~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

and add the following line in the "Global
Shortcuts" section:

Switch to Next Keyboard Layout=default(Alt+Shift_L)

(Obviously you will need to adjust this for both shifts, I
am not 
certain of the shortcut, maybe Shift_L+Shift_R)

if the little flag in the tray reacts to the keys, you are
all set.

I already have similar line: Switch to Next Keyboard 
Layout=default(Alt+Ctrl+K)
And it witches English->Cyrillic, but when I press it the
second time it 
only beeps and doesn't switch.

I believe the trick is to set the option in this file to the
exact same 
key combination you used in xkboptions in the GUI. This is
how it works 
for me.
