kxkb is part of kdebase. Since systemsettings is also part of kdebase, you 
should be able to use it with no problems.

If systemsettings is not in the gnome menus, you can start it in a terminal 
(just enter systemsettings).
Alternatively you can directly start the control center module using
$ kcmshell4 module keyboard_layout
but the results should be the same.

Unless you are really low on diskspace, simply install kdebase (the KDE 4 
one).
