Need Help Configuring a German Keyboard

[Mark Phillips]

I need to type some German documents, so I would like to use a German
keyboard. My daughter's Mac had a nifty gadget that allows her to switch her
keyboard from English to Spanish when she types papers in Spanish. It has a
cute little Spanish flag on her menu bar and it also popped up a keyboard
map so she could see where the extra accented keys were located when she
typed in Spanish. Is there something similar for Gnome/Debian testing?

I can switch the keyboard using System->Preferences->Keyboard to a German
keyboard, but I would like a visual representation of the keyboard to know
where the keys are located (ie qwerty is actually qwertz on a German
kezboard=. There is supposed to be a gnome applet called keyboard
indicator,  but I can't seem to find it on my system or find it in the
Debian repository. The references I have seen are to click on a a panel and
select "keyboard indicator" to install it....but I ain't got one of those
darn things as an option! Very frustrating!

Thanks!

Mark
