Yes, of course, my point was saying "I haven't upgraded from past releases", no old files which could carry such setup.

Anyway:

# ll -dt /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /boot/lost+found/ /boot/initramfs-3.14.2-200.fc20.i686+PAE.img /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf

That was four days ago - exactly when I (re)installed F20. I did a network installation, so most installed packages were already in the most current versions. Hence, in some moment after package installation but before the dracut and grub installation steps, was my keyboard file created (.conf file which follows what anaconda wrote in the kickstart files).

That's consistent with what I see on another system I manage, which used a Xfce live CD to be installed.
