Yes, the KDE International keyboard is nice, except that it seems
to only produce 1byte characters, i.e., switching to Hebrew will
produce characters from iso8859-8, not the Unicode values which
are 2-bytes. I have tried my best to get this working, even fidling
with the contents of the kibd files but with no result and the
documentation is very poor in this respect. If you know how to get
this working, please let me know.
