Hi Pierre,
not sure if https://issues.guix.info/issue/35118 might help for gdm.
Some of the details look to be very specific to guix, but in patch 2
localed is extracted from systemd and an xkeyboard patch is added.
But all the wiring-up seems to be specific to how guix do things.
Well, that seems like an interesting approach, and was fairly easy to do
(took me about 20m...less time than it took for me to write this email
in fact), but the Guix solution just uses "GUIX_XKB_*" environment
variables. I hacked up a patch to elogind to mimic what Guix did if you
want to fiddle with it and see. It does introduce a hard dependency on
xkb-common. I renamed the workaround environment variables without the
GUIX_ prefix. I haven't done any testing other than verifying that it
builds and installs correctly (into DESTDIR, so at least no linking
issues with elogind). The additional source files in the locale
directory were taken directly from systemd-241. The variables that need
to make their way into GDM's environment are
XKB_{LAYOUT,MODEL,VARIANT,OPTIONS} (without configured
/etc/vconsole.conf anyway), so it's a lot of systemd cruft left for just
a simple workaround, but if it works, I could put a bit more time into
it. Despite comment #6 in the above thread, it really wouldn't be _that_
difficult to decouple from elogind, but elogind would require a couple
of small changes already in the patch below (or the handful of
reintroduced functions added directly to the targets or a tiny
libelocaled, but I'd much rather get these back into elogind and just
depend on it).
