Me too, now. :-) And even before taskbar, I liked to switch the panel
off, so I also have made the two items above in "User menu" or how is
it called...

I meant the "cz_qwerty"... It can switch with the Scroll Lock between
"cz_qwerty" and original US keyboard...

I'm very unsure if something like that can be handled by Xfce
itself... Or... In other words - it can be made, because Xfce is very
versatile - you can made the two items to one each keyboard in user
menu or in some menu on the panel and attach some keybindings to them.
I'm not sure if you can use something like CTRL+SHIFT or ALT+SHIFT as
in Windows, you could try... But definitely, I doubt if there is some
parameter in .xfwmrc specially for keyboard switching. :-)

I'm from Turnov, I only study in Prague and there's not much time to
visit all the pubs in Prague (and there are plenty of them :-) when
you study something like medicine... :-)
