Hi,

(answering from memory, no time to check in the code right now.)

Indeed. That's because:

1. live-config isn't meant to be run once the graphical login stage is
   reached => if someone wants to change that, then they'll have to do
   the same kind of refactoring that we've done in live-boot for the
   persistence support.

2. live-config has no facility to change the keyboard layout *live* in
   the greeter (and indeed, given its purpose is to pre-configure,
   early during boot, stuff that will run later, it seems to be out of
   its scope). We do need such a facility, so that the user can enter
   their persistence passphrase using their preferred keyboard layout.

IIRC, the only hardcoded bit is the language -> default country
mapping, and everything else is dynamically built at runtime.
