I did this a while back - this might help:
http://lakesdev.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/g.html
http://lakesdev.blogspot.co.uk/2008/09/running-remote-openvms-cde-desktop.html
I have two scripts with an icon for each - the scripts switch between
LK464 and PC keyboard layouts.
Another option is to run a VNCserver on your linux box then connect via
VNCviewer, this way the keyboard can be mapped for the entire session.
