3 layouts in X.org

For a while now, I've been frustrated with my keyboard layout situation. Ideally, I'd like to be able to switch between three: US dvorak, US QWERTY, and Russian. For some reason, X refuses to switch between layouts if I specify all three in xorg.conf. Since I use fluxbox, kxkb isn't an option (it messes up my key bindings).

Well, yesterday I finally had enough and wrote a quick bash script that switches layouts using setxkbmap and loops through my three layouts. It even notifies me of the current layout via xosd through pyosd. Life is good.
