Display keyboard layout (in X)

I don't use X on my server, but I thought I'd point out this nice command that 'epi' posted to the -questions list for displaying a visual map of your keyboard:

xkbprint -color -nkg 2 -lg 1 :0 - | gv -seascape -scale 4 -

I still need to work on my keyboard map for my console though - I miss not having a meta key in emacs. But I've never gotten one that has all the "right" keys for me, so I stick with the default until I have the time to work on it.
