Erik, Thanks for the pointer. The above partially solved out problem. My colleague would like to use the US keyboard layout and switch to a Danish layout when he's interacting with someone back home. Do you know if this is possible with xmodmap? I'm hoping that I can set up some shell aliases that do
setenv do_danish "xmodmap danish.keys" setenv do_english "xmodmap english.keys"
No, I personally don't like switching keyboard layouts - I want it to be the keys shown on the actual keyboard I use. It it is a matter of having the danish characters available and less important where they are, then it is posible to define meta-keys - If you or your visiting professor understands german there is an article here:

It seems to cover how to use xmodmap:
xmodmap ${HOME}/.xmodmaprc- section 2.2.2
I generally stick with the danish keyboard - with exception of c-circonflex I don't know of any latin character I can't reproduce, so I haven't tried.
