Hi Ilya, here are some answers to your points. 1 & 2) the "flag icon" is displayed by a program call "kxkb". Start from there if you want to have a look at the code. You can find in tdebase/kxkb. 3) TDE uses DCOP, not D-Bus. You can use DCOP to change the active keyboard. Try KDCOP for easy to use DCOP client. Looks under kxkb->kxkb->setLayout 4) same as 3) but use kxkb->kxkb->getCurrentLayout 5) patches and contributions of any kind are always welcome :-) 6) no idea, perhaps try asking on their forum ;-) cheers Michele -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJWUIs+AAoJECp1t8qK3tXP70YP/2cutYcdKckH6L+dtYt9whnl KeKw8VKCXN6GzE6lSmAVozJ++IZAZnjC08CTzYrGM/BwP6nzBSTLzsrpY+9He6vR qmzxwA4uLS/IfxS4VPZWq5OsS5dfBrRpVf084FI3FT4va0LVIC0OyWqv4XNyNTXV KmM9RYkYZN06BmloMvfEUTNTQ/fJ2QuLiAKELHzw+SA5EgC64ShSF4pAmOAh2Rkx 7LsPq+aRgptsOq3zCz4I74yDxFbzUrY0m7PXnanKgP3h1FXbPJ3DoKWPfeUP6o5u XhhpI+JkTrs80DqfcwiSID7QnwL+//tMNfToaIA53+nipoSLdNfcj8FEQ4iMVPeP 7T7j+2kYYLTsbEFT1vK2xUutHbqk1c3tRjdvcgM23SAus6esQfEFQmMCO0+xVGD0 h68VnmZR6jyiVPiixsnRQMbHoALOeMF1Ve2R3AemB6FwTYsYeCitrbMHjcMt8XOw Sd10Uc77iG4SghTO49VaBmsUNgKIXtmSNGgqh4/1ILW9/H/ASZml6bGkzka3VeaX 8UkUUf5CLXdP9wC+Zl/VAYcWcRNXrD4pbPw9js3zxUFscDAejxF+J3n5iiGhGon8 vVuaCEYEGD+ec7dgZwNJq87fFrugJ+HPo3iXjnQyJfS7NUJ2bKkrWu8GJyy/4XEv zZMO7u5iFoGxOTC6zPxg =rFz5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
