Xorg would switch to the default =E2=80=9Cfr=E2=80=9D layout (whi= ch exists) and ignore the =E2=80=9Cdoes-not-exist=E2=80=9D variant. However, GNOME Shell would reject it in =E2=80=98keyboardManager.js=E2=80= =99 because: [found, , , _layout, _variant] =3D this._xkbInfo.get_layout_info(id); returns =E2=80=98found =3D false=E2=80=99 since =E2=80=98fr+does-not-exist= =E2=80=99 is not found, and thus goes on to use the US layout: if (found) return { layout: _layout, variant: _variant }; else return { layout: DEFAULT_LAYOUT, variant: DEFAULT_VARIANT }; (This is just for GNOME Shell because again, Xorg itself installs the =E2=80=9Cfr=E2=80=9D layout, as can be seen if you start ratpoison or simil= ar.) Long story short: it would be great if invalid keyboard layouts were caught when the system is instantiated. It could be =E2=80=98ckbcomp=E2=80= =99 errorring out, or we could have additional code that browses xkeyboard-config=E2=80= =99s =E2=80=98base.xml=E2=80=99 file. Ludo=E2=80=99.
