Hi, I'm a bit embarrassed, since I've been through this before and thought it was resolved. I'm using a number of KB layouts. For quite a long time I could not manage to get KDE3 switching my layouts (not sure which versions, it was even before SuSE turned to openSUSE :-) ). I always used SaX2 to configure layouts (in xorg.conf) and it worked. Then Sax2 was dropped (in oS 11.3?) and I tried KDE3 mechanism again (using Personal Settings -> Regional -> Keyboard Layouts) and suddenly found it working. But now I've installed 12.1 (64-bits) and what I see is that layout switching works fine from KDE4 and does not work from KDE3. I mean, I can switch layouts using tray icon, but user-defined keyboard shortcuts do not work (I tried defining Alt-Shift or Win keys). Global Alt-Ctrl-K works... I have on this same machine 11.4 (32-bits) with both KDE3 and KDE4, where layout switching works correctly this way. The files ~/.kde/share/config/kxkbrc in 11.4 and 12.1 look the same. xev shows that pressing Win key sends ISO_Next_Group keysym, but layouts are not switched. I thought that some keyboard shortcut conflicts with my definitions, but it looks like there are no such shortcuts. Could someone please advice how to debug it?
