Hi Lists, hi Guiseppe, Not really a documentation, but I got pointed to fcitx on the chakra mailing lists today, which has a xlib/xkb reference implementation for reading and setting the required keyboard configuration without external commands (though, still parsing evdev.xml/evdev.extras.xml). With a bit of effort it can be either turned in a library or just transformed to fit your needs.
