Thanks for the hint. But does this really work when there's no xorg.conf, 
or XF86Config, at all? 
/usr/share/system-config-keyboard/keyboard_backend.py contains:

    def modifyXconfig(self, fullname, layout, model, variant, options):
        #import xf86config and make the necessary changes
        if os.access("/etc/X11/XF86Config", os.W_OK) or os.access("/etc/X11/xorg.conf", os.W_OK):        
            import xf86config

In other words, modifyXconfig does nothing if there's no X config file.
