Ahh, I see there are 2 different problems we are talking about. I'm talking
about the fact that on KDE control-center/regional &
accessability/keyboard-layout, the "switching options" and "Xkb
options" are
blank. This was not true with any kde I've used before, or any I built
myself.

There appears to be something missed in KDE
during the change from
XFree to Xorg. My work around is as root cd to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
and
ln -s xorg.lst xfree86.lst
ln -s xorg.xml xfree86.xml
The keyboard layout options should reappear in the control panel.
