I don't quite understand your confusion and I am still not sure if I can help you, because I don't know the *tool* you are using to switch between different keymaps and its requirements. You use console-setup (dpkg-reconfigure console-setup) and the aforementioned files to configure your *global*/default keymap used in X and on the console. There are a variety of ways to *switch* keymaps within X and most desktop environments provide their own tools to do so. (gnome-keyboard-properties for example), but you can always use a tool such as "setxkbmap" to switch to a different keymap without the need to run "gnome-settings-daemon" (or other applicable DE daemons/tools). It is fairly easy to define hotkeys that trigger different "setxkbmap" commands in most window managers. I have already pointed out that I don't know the tool you are using to switch keymaps, but if its requirement is that you define *all* keymaps you might potentially use in your xorg.xonf then this is most definitely the only way *if you want to use that tool*. You might want to read the README.Debian for that tool and its manpage to check if the way to setup it changed in the meantime. What went wrong with "X -configure" or "X -configure :1"? It is hard to help if you don't provide any output generated by these programs? Have you read the wiki page I linked? Kind regards Wolodja -- .''`.
