Of course not -- the point is that you can the "Layout" tab more than one
keyboard layout (it would be cz and us in my case) and then you tab
"Switching options" (for applet in kicker, which signalizes which layout is
active in the moment and allows switch via mouse), or you go to Xkb options
(xkb being a part of X which handles keyboard) and then you can switch many
options (BTW, disallowing CapsLock or switching it with Control would go
there too) including my preferred "Both Shift keys together change
group" (in short you can imagine group being an equivalent of the different
national layout). Then I just press both SHIFT keys and I have US keyboard
(from the default Czech).
