I don't have any holy KDE way (but try to look into Regional &
Accessibility/Keyboard Layout/Xkb options), but you can certainly use
reading this -- /usr/share/doc/xkb-data/README.config.gz

So for example my Keyboard section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (I have CapsLock
redefined as Compose key):

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "cz,us"
        Option          "XkbOptions"    "compose:caps,ctrl:ctrl_aa,\
                lv3:ralt_switch,grp_led:scroll,grp:shifts_toggle"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    "qwerty,"

EndSection

A conclusion is simply the place where someone got tired of
thinking.
