You will still see "Keyboard Indicator" listed in the applets menu no
matter what. The idea is that when you choose "Keyboard Indicator", it
will place either gswitchit or gkb on the panel.

So in your case you want have_xkb=FALSE and then compile/install, and
right click on the panel and choose Keyboard Indicator. You should then
see gkb on the panel.
