What I want to do is the following: In both KWordQuiz and KVocTrain it 
should be possible to assign a specific keyboard layout for each column. 
That means that when the selection/current cell moves from one column to 
another the program would automatically switch to the assigned layout.

I have just started to look into it, but I was thinking of only making 
this option available if the user has activated keyboard layouts in the 
Control Center and then only present a list of already activated layouts 
  instead of all alyouts available on the system. That is something 
similar to what kxkb does in the system tray.

But you are right, it should be possible to run a KDE program outside a 
KDE session. The kxkb code is not very large and I probably only need 
parts of it, so it might be simpler to write my own implementation

Thanks. 2004 is repeated twice at the top. The main site is currently 
hosted by me personally at http://peterandlinda.com/kwordquiz. Downloads 
are hosted by SourceForge at http://sf.net/projects/kwordquiz.

Has it been imported? How do you otherwise build it within kdeedu, so I 
can try myself?

I worked on some of the cleanups Scott recommended yesterday, but I was 
then unable to access cvs to make any commits. I hope it will work tonight.

Thanks,
