I normally start Xfce by 'startx' on my machine. However, on my parent's 
machine Xfce is being started through gdm. So, the results:

    This still gives me the problem, where the plugin loads only the US 
    keyboard, not reflecting what is in xorg.conf

    X is started via gdm, there are tons of characters typed when logging 
    in. Layout switching is already active there and works (tested). Then 
    after successful login xfce is started (probably via Xsession.d and 
    that whole path - not an expert here) and the xkb plugin is still 
    confused. I hope I understood this test correctly.

One more interesting note. I have tried using fbxkb and that one gives yet 
another broken result: unlike xfce's xkb plugin, it doesn't display the US 
flag at all, only '??'. The Czech one is correct. It doesn't make any 
difference whether I restart it or not. I don't care though. I would like 
the xfce's xkb indicator working.

Cheers,

Jan
