Thanks for the help. However, I don't think I expressed myself clearly. I have my XO set up to switch between us and np keyboard layouts. What I need is a way in Python to find out which of these layouts is currently selected. The file /etc/sysconfig/keyboard is also unchanged when the '% x' key is used to switch the layout.
Naturally, I could put a combobox in a toolbar and have the user enter the selected keyboard, but it would be much more user-friendly to have the activity determine that for itself.
