Dan,
I always skipped both GNOME and KDE's language keyboard binding and
did it directly on xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:Alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
This should let you toggle between hebrew and english with the left
alt-shift. Don't forget first to disable the bindings that you already
did in GNOME or else GNOME will overridden your xorg settings.
Thanks,
Hetz
