The drawbacks are that one has to have root access to the system and that a system upgrade might overwrite one's layout file.

XKB provides the concept of multi-layout or shift levels. The X Window System receives keyboard events using the XKB extension, which makes it possible to read the output of various kinds of keyboards, provided that there's a configuration file available.
