 how this is this going to be fixed?
 I got keyboard layout working nice after replacing the places
 latin-cirillic in gkb_xmmap file. is that about the same issues?

+Yes and No. It is all about XKB Xfree extension that lets one have a
+true international keyboard, allows setting XFree wide hotkeys for
+switching keyboard layouts and stuff. GKB is almost unusable for the
+languages that do not use Latin alphabet. Languages like Russian,
+Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Armenian, Georgian etc. etc. require a separate
+keyboard layout which has no room for latin letters (used for
+inputting system commands, mathematical variables and such). Many
+tasks make the user switch keyboards rather often, so there must be a
+simple hotkey, an indikator in the panel and a complex configuration
+backend. Gswitchit provides it all while gkb functionality is not
+enough.  (This was an answer for the previous post)
