I read some XFree READMEs. They are talking about a possibility to configure keyboard layout 'backward compatible' - but I could not find out how (it might help).
You don't need to. you can tell your X to use us,de as the keyboard, but to always be in grp2. Actually, what I just said counts as "backwards compatible", as that is what happens on 4.2.x. Does anyone know, off the top of their head, how to do that?
I tried to cheat wine with "us,de" together with ",nodeadkeys" and "grp:ctrls_toggle" (toggle between us and de with pressing both ctrl keys). Doing so resulted in a screwed keyboard, e.g. a-z keys now had special meanings in KDE, running wine did not give me access to '{[]}' keys. KDE itself has been screwed (maybe since I pressed lots of keys for testing while they had special meaning).
I made tests with several different toggle keys and configurations, but no success... meybe there is no easy solution.

Hmm.
Try us,de, leave the dead keys in (unless you want them out), and grp:alt_toggle. Then, press alt to switch between keyboard layouts.
I know that grp:shift_toggle is badly broken, both in Wine and in other apps I have seen (I suspect an X bug here). I have never tried both ctrl toggle, though.
this doent|t work at all. just no effect, so i am staying with US kezboard. as zou can see...
