Could somebody explain to me the following:

$ unsetxkbmap
$ setxkbmap -layout 'us,il,ru'
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xfree86' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Error loading new keyboard description
$ getxkbmap
$ unsetxkbmap
$ setxkbmap -layout 'us,ru,il'
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xfree86' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
$ getxkbmap
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc101", "us,ru,il", "", ""

I want the Hebrew before Russian, why wouldn't it work?

Also, in a three-layout setup, I rarely need all three.  Is there a
way to setup one key to switch between us <-> il and another to switch
between us <-> ru?

Otherwise it's sufficiently inconvenient that I'll probably revert to
having two icons launching ``setxkb -layout us,il`` and ``setxkb
-layout us,ru``...

P.S. Here are the extra scripts I used:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] beni]$ cat /usr/local/bin/unsetxkbmap
xprop -root -remove _XKB_RULES_NAMES
[EMAIL PROTECTED] beni]$ cat /usr/local/bin/getxkbmap
xprop -root | grep ^_XKB_RULES_NAMES
