$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf 

# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit this file
# manually too freely.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "de"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"

Despite the above output, sddm loads the wrong layout.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change the keyboard layout to a non-us layout
2. Restart, reboot sddm or whatever
3. sddm ignores the keyboard layout

Actual Results:  
sddm refuses to use the specified keyboard layout.

Expected Results:  
Well, sddm should respect my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
