i don't know. but without using the gnome layout indicator widget to switch layouts, the new layout doesn't propagate to the gnome x terminal (but it does to e.g. Emacs).
and without the logout/login cycle, it doesn't show up in the list of available layouts. (which makes sense, because otherwise why would it be needed to rebuild the entire X and Gnome and apps locally?)

i have wasted quite some times, and had several questions after i tried to use this feature.
note that i put the closing xml tags are at the end of the line at one place to avoid adding a superfluous space in the output.
