[xkb] Documentation

[Giuseppe Penone]

Hi Georg,
I've been also searching same as you since I wrote a simple applet for the
lxde panel
to handle keyboard layouts (www.giuspen.com/customs).
In the end I generated my own glib key-value files for layouts and
variants, models and toggle options
using python scripts taking information from the command "man -P cat
xkeyboard-config".
And I ended up using system calls to setxkbmap.
I also would be interested in direct calls to xkb lib but didn't find.
Cheers,
Giuseppe.
