Bug Description

When running stock ubuntu or with compositor set to "" my keyboard behaves as expected (US layout). When running with the compositor set to hyprland or wayfire my layout is mapped to a UK layout. localectl still returns that the keyboard is a US layout.

Steps to Reproduce

On a computer with a none UK keyboard, set compositor to "wayfire" or "hyprland" and config.toml. Execute just switch and reboot. Login into the session and open a terminal, and start typing, keys are mapped to a UK layout. For example, typing shift 2 produces " versus the expected @.

Expected Behavior

Wayfire and hyprland sessions should maintain the system defined (returned by localectl) keyboard layout
