The list of keyboard models, keyboard layouts+variants and
keyboard shortcuts to change layout are imported statically from
xkeyboard-config.
xkeyboard-config lists all the options to be feeded to *setxkbmap *(which
is the only dependency)
If you feel that an option is missing try it and then provide me neme (e.g.
evdev) and description
and I'll add it to the list.

I'll fix this.

Yes I didn't change anything of this, but I'll try to reproduce the problem
as it never happened on my lubuntu 12.04.
A patch to the git repository [1] would be easier to handle, since all

with meld (http://meldmerge.org/) you can easily spot the differences
between the two
*lxpanel-0.5.10/src/plugins/xkb/**
forget about the other changes you see that are from the ubuntu patch,
the only one that I added is this in *lxpanel-0.5.10/configure.ac*
@@ -40,6 +40,7 @@
pkg_modules="$pkg_modules \

I believe that alsa should be added to the dependencies since the plugin
volume works bad and requires to load manually a kernel module,
volumealsa instead works good but is built only if the header files are
found
(libasound2-dev on lubuntu)

The first svg flags are from the flags folder of xfce4-xkb-plugin which are
GPL,
xfce4-xkb-plugin is anyway already credited since the original "keyboard
layout switcher"
comes from that
Other flags are taken from http://hewgill.com/flags/ or
https://github.com/koppi/iso-country-flags-svg-collection/tree/master/svg/country-4x3or
wikipedia,
they should probably be credited as well.
I will write again when I'll have the reported issues fixed.

Giuseppe.
