Thanks for the help.
I never would have found the GNOME indicator control panel alone, well, maybe
in 100 years. :)

My xorg.conf is full of settings... I haven't changed anything,
but I don't know exactly what you mean by "vanilla." I proceed anyway...

Εντάξη, λειτούργει... it works! I've got the indicator on the
panel.

I've got two languages, USA and Greek, but I can't add any others, the
configuration error message appears.

I see what you mean... I like "Both Alt keys together change group," but I
can't add the shortcut, because the configuration error message appears.

Yes, it works. I can now type in Greek in GNOME! I can change the keymaps
by clicking on the indicator.

"Προεπιλογη" (Default) is set, but it doesn't show GTK+ IM. I guess
I'm
still working with XKB. [No problem, I'm happy to be able to select the
keymap with the mouse and type in Greek.] There are 10 selections, XIM is
the last one, but no "Internet/Intranet" in the list.
