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.
