I have a custom X11 keyboard layout that I can use with setxkbmap. But after some searching I've found that apparently just having the XKB layout file isn't enough to set it as a new keyboard layout in KDE 4. What I would like to have my custom layout be recognized by the KDE system so that I can choose it using the systray applet, or install it as the default using the System Settings module.
