Input language in Archlinux and Openbox

Hello,
I'm a long time linux user but newbie at arch. I have problem with adding second input language. I'm using macedonian (MK) as my secon language and I can't get it towork. First i tried chainging xorg.conf with in the following  manner:

but didn't work. Then I installed xxkb with the following config (~.xxkbrc)

XXkb.mainwindow.enable: yes
XXkb.mainwindow.appicon: yes
XXkb.mainwindow.type: tray
XXkb.mainwindow.in_tray: yes
XXkb.mainwindow.geometry: 12x12+0+0
XXkb.mainwindow.label.enable: yes
XXkb.mainwindow.label.text.1: US
XXkb.mainwindow.label.text.2: MK
XXkb.mainwindow.label.background: #1F1F1F
XXkb.mainwindow.label.foreground: orange
XXkb.mainwindow.label.font: -misc-*-r-*-12-*

XXkb.controls.two_state: no
XXkb.group.base: 1
XXkb.group.alt: 2

XXkb.button.enable: no

XXkb.bell.enable: no

Then I created the file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard.conf :

I read somewhare that HAL can manage input language so I tried chaingint the /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi file:

I tried several other methods but none of them worked!!!!!
I'm using Archbang (Archlinux with Openbox) for my Lenovo U330 laptop.

What can I to make this work.

BTW I have menu entries with setxkbmap en and setxkbmap mk but they slow my GUI when I switch them and I want to have input language based on the application, somthing that is provided by xxkb.

Thanks in advance,
