Harold, you're talking nonsense. People need multiple layouts, people need indication. Please listen to the people who actually use kubuntu in multi-lang environments.
Even for French, German and other languages using latin alphabet, it is _quite_ frequently useful to see the indication - they may switch between us and, say, fr layouts. I seen that many times.
For languages that are not using latin alphabet - it is ESSENTIAL - because they have to use at least 2 layouts - one for ASCII, one for their native language.
Trust me, I am the person who maintains GNOME keyboard layout indicator. As far as I know, vanilla KDE4 is reasonable with layout indication, I happen to know the guy who maintain the KDE layout indicator. Should I invite him here to explain the right behaviour and reasons behind it?
