.I \- change_state
whether to change the indicator state or not

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
If a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server, 
.I XkbSetNamedIndicator 
returns False. Otherwise, it sends a request to the X server to change the 
indicator specified by 
.I name 
and returns True.
 
If 
.I change_state 
is True, and the optional parameter, 
.I state, 
is not NULL, 
.I XkbSetNamedIndicator 
tells the server to change the state of the named indicator to the value 
specified by 
.I state. 

If an indicator with the name specified by 
.I name 
does not already exist, the 
.I create_new 
parameter tells the server whether it should create a new named indicator. If 
.I create_new 
is True, the server finds the first indicator that doesn't have a name and gives 
it the name specified by 
.I name. 
If the optional parameter, 
.I map, is not NULL, 
.I XkbSetNamedIndicator 
tells the server to change the indicator's map to the values specified in 
.I map.

In addition, it can also generate XkbIndicatorStateNotify, 
XkbIndicatorMapNotify, and XkbNamesNotify events.
