In Gnome, use the Keyboard Preferences program (gnome-keyboard-properties)
and  and another keyboard under Layouts.  You can then under Layout
Options choose which key combos change the layout.  You can also add a
keyboard indicator to the status bar to see which layout is active.  I
don't know how to do the similar task in a KDE-based desktop.
