By the way, why do you want to be able to change the layout by
clicking ? Most people use a hot-key combination because they have
found it's faster and more comfortable. That way you are not
forced to put your hands off the keyboard while typing.

If you use, for example, the following configuration:

    Option  "XkbLayout" "cz_prog,cz,de,ru" 
    Option  "XKbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
    
then you'll be able to use CTRL+SHIFT to cycle through all
the specified layouts.
