No, I personally don't like switching keyboard layouts - I want it to be 
the keys shown on the actual keyboard I use. It it is a matter of having 
the danish characters available and less important where they are, then 
it is posible to define meta-keys - If you or your visiting professor 
understands german there is an article here:

It seems to cover how to use xmodmap:

    xmodmap ${HOME}/.xmodmaprc

- section 2.2.2

I generally stick with the danish keyboard - with exception of 
c-circonflex I don't know of any latin character I can't reproduce, so I 
haven't tried.
