Re: keyboard switching
SOLVED:
I made a script called switch_keyboard in /usr/bin containing:
#!/bin/bash
setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alts_toggle gb,us
then added a desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart that calls the script when xfce starts
xfkc is not needed anymore now...
opinions please?

I am using xfce4 and added a package called xfkc to manage the keyboard layout. However when I add a layout from xfkc ex: USA - International (no dead keys), the key mappings remain that of UK. Is there anything that needs to be configured?
