Ahh fudge. And that was mentioned earlier as well... I should have
realised. d'oh!
Yeah I think there was a change here, but upstream haven't confirmed
what is really is to blame yet. I'll go prod them again.
Basically the "correct" (apparently) way of doing it is to ensure a
snippet is written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ that sets up the correct
keyboard layout for the system - user settings can override this but the
primary mapping will be used by e.g. gdm, kdm etc.
This is done and managed by localed (which is stated on-demand when such
settings are changed at a higher level - e.g. in gnome's system
settings) so it's really just a matter of doing some dbus magic and it's
nicely abstracted from X11 stuff so when Wayland comes along, the higher
level stuff will still work the same which is nice.
I need to find a way to write this config on package upgrade I guess.
Regarding what actually changed, I think X used to inherit the tty's
locale settings (which are obviously correct as you can login there) but
now it does not. Something like that.
I'll dig some more.
