Under XFCE I seem to have a file that contains my layout:
~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml

I am quite certain that this file was created by
xfce4-keyboard-settings. There seems to be a
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ as well, dropping a default
configuration there will likely work system-wide.

/etc/sysconfig/keyboard is used for the non-graphical console, I'm
unsure if GDM/XFCE knows about/uses that file.

HTH,
