Currently, Alon Bar-Lev's patch (xorg-server-1.12.2-xkb-switch-on-release.patch) applies cleanly against Xorg 1.17.2 from Fedora 22, but apparently has no effect - with `setxkbmap -print` output like this:

xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types { include "complete" };
        xkb_compat { include "complete+ledscroll(group_lock)" };
        xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+il(lyx):2+us:3+inet(evdev)+group(alt_shift_toggle)" };
        xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};

Holding ALT+SHIFT (without releasing) immediately changes the layout.

I've build a copr package for this that can be found in copr under guss77/xorg-patches, if you want to test drive.
