Keyboard layout reset when launching X under display managers

If this is a bug, it's difficult to know what it's even a bug with -- I can't identify a specific package that has the problem. It's not a problem with Fluxbox, either, because I get identical behaviour when using different WMs such as Xmonad. Thanks! -- David Banks
