This is very sad, because gswitchit is really very useful switcher. It
worked fine with previous XFree, but with 4.3.0 it became even more
powerful. I was never able to force standart Gnome switcher to work with
my xkb, but gswitchit worked always and works now.
We depend on latest Mozilla versions in our browsers, why we so afraid
to depend on new XFree features? Take a look on XFree start up.
Developers say it become outdated in 6-12 months.
