Just to support our discussion (and show how positive I can be
sometimes), tonight I removed the TLA XKB from UI of the "Keyboard
Layouts" capplet (now it is called this name). Also, I modified the
tooltip of the applet - as requested, now it is "Keyboard switcher
(United Kingdom)". Translators hate me tonight, I guess - a little bunch
of string changes.

About simplification of layouts configuration (former XKB
configuration). I thought a bit and my final (well, more or less) offer
is following: 

1. By default, the capplet shows first ("General") page including "Group
Shift/Lock behavior" list from "Options 2" (it is put just under layout
choosing buttons). Just one page, nothing more (all other lists/menus
are initially set to be empty - this is usually reasonable default). 

2. In GConf, there is some boolean property ("Advanced settings" or
"Power mode") which (if set) effectively shows "Options 1/2 pages" for
power users (withouth "Group Shift/Lock behaviour", of course) and
allows them to configure more subtle and exotic things.

3. Also (just to prove my open-mindness:), I could consider hiding the
"keyboard model" menu in defaul (non-advanced) mode. The question is
whether pc105 keyboard can be considered as reasonable default and how
many users will be unhappy with this solution. This is just an offer -
sure, I would be happy not to implement it:)

That's my ideas (probably, not too brilliant - but it is already 1am
here:)
