Hi,

Could you post your complete config file?

The snippet above defines the keyboard layout for the console and for
GRUB, but it does not define the keyboard layout for Xorg/Xfce.  For
that you need an extra bit with =E2=80=98set-xorg-configuration=E2=80=99 as=
 noted at
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Keyboard-Layout.html>.

Thanks in advance,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
