you may check and edit the following file in your system
/etc/default/keyboard

here is how mine looks like
--------------------------------
# Check /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian for
# documentation on what to do after having modified this file.

# The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same
# values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options
# in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT="dvorak-classic"
XKBOPTIONS=""

# If you don't want to use the XKB layout on the console, you can
# specify an alternative keymap. Make sure it will be accessible
# before /usr is mounted.
# KMAP=/etc/console-setup/defkeymap.kmap.gz
------------------------------
For my english keyboard;
In /usr/X11/xkb/symbols the file "us" is used as XKBLAYOUT
and XKBVARIANT uses the line " xkb_symbols "dvorak-classic" " from the
same "us" file

/usr/X11/xkb/symbols contains all the localized keyboard layouts.

I use lightdm which now even changes background same as the user.
