I have problems with XFree86 4.3 and wine's keyboard layout detection scheme. It seems that wine can't detect dead keys and use alt, therefore my previous slovene layout isn't detected anymore. This one loads perfectly, although alt-key combinations don't work.
I'm strongly against fixing problems with new XFree86 4.3.0 this way and polluting x11drv with lots of similar keyboard layouts. A way to solve your problem is to use something like this in your XF86Config:
Option "XkbLayout" "us,si" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
I.e. explicitly add "us" layout as the first language group and use Ctrl+Shift to switch between base and alternate keyboard layouts.

Thanks for help, but that doesn't work for me. If I do Option "XkbLayout" "us,si" my keyboard is properly detected, but dead keys (alt+something) are screwed up both in wine and linux (in both us and si).
