KDE keyboard switching uses xmodmap rather than xkb, so if you change the
layout with xkb, the KDE keymap switcher, obviously, isn't aware of the
changes. Use Leonid Zeitlin's excellent kkbswitch instead.

"For me, the first challenge for computing science is to discover how to
maintain order in a finite, but very large, discrete universe that is
intricately intertwined. And a second, but not less important challenge is
how to mould what you have achieved in solving the first problem, into a
teachable discipline: it does not suffice to hone your own intellect (that
will join you in your grave), you must teach others how to hone theirs. The
more you concentrate on these two challenges, the clearer you will see that
they are only two sides of the same coin: teaching yourself is discovering
what is teachable."
