is there a program/feature that will allow you to switch between a english keyboard and a german keyboard while running X? i have a my machine at work (w95) set-up to do this using the right alt+shift keys to switch languages - is there something similar for x/linux?

Yep. You can use xkeycaps to create German and English keymaps and xmodmap to load them. First run xkeycaps >~/us choose a keyboard, e. g. `PC 102...' and `Linux/XFree86 US layout', then click `Restore Default Map', `Restore', `Write Output', `All Keys', `Quit'. Then do a xkeycaps >~/ge and repeat everything for a German keyboard. Now you can switch between English and German keyboard layout by simply typing `xmodmap ~/us' or `xmodmap ~/ge'.
