How to have separate kbd layouts per usb-keyboards?

Hello,

seems i am unable to find the correct terms to get something useful
out of google....

i have the following problem: i am used to a german keyboard, my wife
to a french layout....

anyone who had to switch between those 2 will concur that the
respective other one is a real pain in the a..

so i installed for our media server 2 keyboards, one german, the other
french.... and now i am searching how to configure the machine to
allways assume german keyboard layout coming from a certain usb
device, and french from another... and am stuck since i didn't even
manage to get the beginning of a solution.....

i suppose it has something to do with udev, but otherwise...
