None, i.e., "Enable keyboard layouts" is not checked. I had tried it
previously, but to no avail. Anyway, my understanding is that what this
setting does is execute setxkbmap with various, selectable options. My
understanding is that this wouldn't make a difference in my case as I
have all the necessary options set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and I have no
need to switch among keyboard layouts.
