DBUS INTERFACE

26       Kbdd registers a dbus interface in order to  notify  a  window  manager
27       about  layout  change  and  listens  on  this  interface  for  incoming
28       requests.  This interface can be used in WM  widgets  to  indicate  the
29       current layout.
30
31       The dbus interface has the following methods:
32
33       getLayoutName( uint32 )
34              returns a string representing the layout group name
35
36       set_layout( uint32 )
37              sets current group
38
39       getCurrentLayout
40              returns current layout group id
41
42       next_layout
43              switches to the next keyboard layout
44
45       prev_layout
46              switches to the previous keyboard layout
47
48       The following events (signals) are available:
49
50       layoutChanged
51              returns new group number
52
53       layoutNameChanged
54              returns name for the new group
55
56       You can change the layout with the following dbus-send command:
57       dbus-send --dest=ru.gentoo.KbddService /ru/gentoo/KbddService ru.gentoo.kbdd.set_layout uint32:1

BUGS

60       Some  users  reported  problems with sticking meta-keys (Alt or Meta4),
61       however, at the moment there is not  enough  information  collected  to
62       conclude if this is caused by kbdd or not.
