$ xkbprint -o somefile.ps $DISPLAY
(you probably have this installed already: it's in the xbase-clients
package)
will dump the current keyboard layout to a postscript file.
Then view it, e.g.:
$ gv somefile.ps
or (if you're using gnome)
$ gnome-open somefile.ps
Or if you're really lazy, print it :-)

That's great, I wasn't aware of this program. I'm surprised KDE doesn't
have something for this easily available from the menu. I'll wrap this
into a script and put it there though. Thanks!

I'm affraid I didn't understand this. Where are the keyboard layout files? In other words, what is "somefile.ps" and where do I find them?

If you are a GNOME user, the keyboard indicator can do this.
