System-config-keyboard knows that I want a UK keyboard. However, it reports

I tried putting in a keyboard section, but Xorg.conf seems to be dynamically
produced these days, so re-starting X just puts me back with the default US
keyboard. Is there nothing that can be done about this?
1. file a bug (check if someone did), this should not be happening to
system-config-keyboard.
2. define the input section in xorg.conf for the workaround. The xorg.conf is
not dynamically generated, it is minimally configured. That means any input
devices can be added when X starts, but don't have to be in the config. If you
define them, it will honor your config.
Try:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us+inet"
EndSection
With the correct change for XkbLayout, I'm not sure what that is.
