no, please don't. my layout is meant for russians with no russian 
stickers on a keyboard - it phoneticly maps russian letters to latin 
"equivalents" wherever possible. most russians in russia have keyboards 
with stickers in traditional layout.

my point was rather - i'd like to have an "Advanced..." button where 
i'll be able to choose a layout variant or merge several layouts like 
the inet(acpi) in my script.

spreading a task among several bits of software is ok as long as it's 
invisible to users ;-) say if the applet could be dragged right from 
your application's window...

a question though: why applet is better then system tray thing? anything 
without evil dependancies freedesktop system tray compatible can be used 
right away, no?

NB: i'm new to rox and very new to this mailing list, may be this is a 
faq, sorry then.
