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?

Adding the following to xorg.conf works for me!!!

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
