Thanks Alan, it seems that I had to reboot for the changes to take.  I forgot 
that hal does all the device management and restarting xorg is not enough.

I modified the /usr/share/doc/hal-0.5.11-r8/use-estonian-layout.fdi.bz2 
for "gb" and saved under /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-xinput-configuration.fdi.  I 
now have the gb layout.

Now if I want multiple keyboards am I supposed to append 
use-multiple-layouts.fdi.bz2 into the same /10-xinput-configuration.fdi, or 
should I create a new 20-xinput-configuration.fdi, or should I replace the 
initially modified 10-xinput-configuration.fdi for gb with the 
use-multiple-layouts.fdi.bz2?

Also, what do these functions mean:

 Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:caps,compose:ralt"
