In Unity one can easily switch between keyboard layouts using the keyboard tray icon. There is also the Keyboard menu where one can add/remove/set keyboard layouts.
I can not find any of this functionality in Xubuntu. How can the keyboard layout be switched in this desktop environment?
Thanks.

Update II: The solution proposed for Xubuntu 11.10 is not working with this latest version of Xfce. The xfce4-xkb-plugin
package is apparently installed together with xubuntu-desktop
.
Update III: This is no longer an issue on Xubuntu 14.04, a nice tray icon in this latest version allows the user to easily switch between keyboard layouts.
