i found a far unelegant way to solve my problem and start now kxkb on 
startup, makes it some seconds slower but it works (äöüß)

xkeykaps isn`t really useful because several keys of the japanese layout 
are ignored in any given keyboard-layout which is at least similar to it.

I will play around with Xmodmap to figure out how exactly it functions, 
in the manuals I find only something about scroll-lock and it could be 
that it`s missing on my keyboard but you (Botond) mapped right-alt to do 
the job when I understood you right...
I will figure it out later...the instructions in the net for Xmodmap are 
usually only for mapping the meta-key which I do not use as far as I 
think (no Vi or Emacs, only lamer-kate and pico -- when I have time I 
will try to learn Vi or Emacs...espescially Emacs seems to be very 
interesting)

Thanks for your help

Niels
