 Summary: impossible to enter cyrillic
 
 I've tried using gkb to switch the kbd to Cyrillic (Russian) and found it
 to be almost impossible. gkb provides 3 Russian modes: Russian xkb, Russian
 xmodmap and Russian Cyrillic (?). I tried all 3 - and in all 3 of them, I
 am still getting English, not Russian: key "w" produces "w", not

 How different will it be from gswitchit? What extra functions do you
 want to put in it? I could help you with xkb - and my libxklavier can
 be of some help here.

+This will be a command line utility (good for scripting and bug
+squashing, emergency switching, too) I plan it as simple as it can be.
+Gswitchit is just for xkb and there are lot of users who cannot use
+xkb because they have unsupported layouts (unsupported by XFree86,
+like indic project) or they have to hold down the key Alt to type
+their specific characters and they dont want to do that. So they send
+me their special keymap in xmodmap format and I include this in gkb.
+XFree86 project is bigger and slower.
