I use these and they work just fine with OO and CXoffice. There are gnome and kde applets that let you also do basicly the same thing but I would guess that they are much less optimal. They probably have an advantage if you want more the 2 layouts (I don't know if XknOption can handle more then two layouts). > Why not?
