Comment (by walter):

 With language key support, which is added by including the following line
 in the language-specific symbols file, you no longer need to specify a
 group toggle in the xorg.conf Keyboard Section.
 {{{
 key <AB11> {[ ISO_Next_Group, ISO_Prev_Group ]};
 }}}
 For example, to have English and Arabic support (with English as the
 initial language that X launches in), you'd add the following to the
 xorg.conf file:
 {{{
 Option "XkbLayout" "us,ara"
 Option "XkbVariant" "olpc,olpc"
 }}}
 No need to add:
 {{{
 Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
 }}}
 I'll finish up Portuguese, Spanish, and Thai today.
