Well I know there is the gkb applet that handles the Keyboard switching .. 
and what I am seeking here is not a solution for me :-) I am working in the 
Arabization project .. and I want using the arabic keyboard to be as easy as 
use the frensh Keyboard :-) see what I am after ?

So I hope that the gkb applet maintainer would help me in making it possible 
to switch keyboard layout to Arabic .. I guess that Using the kxkb for that 
is not something that anyone would like .. including me ..
