That seems to be the way to go. Pretty nice solution. In fact, I think I'm going to stick with the Latin American (as it's called by X.org -- after I chose Mexico as my country) keyboard. It's got many of the common special characters included in the layout. Just added the Keyboard control switch to the Gnome panel. Easy to switch back and forth now.
