Public bug reported:

Using keyboard detection to pick a dvorak variant of 'us'; the
appropriate layout appears to be selected (but it *is* the default),
except the variant (dvorak itself) isn't being properly applied.

Using the menus to pick us:dvorak from a list, the keyboard variant is
properly applied once setupcon gets run.

It appears as though setting XKB_VARIANT after keyboard detection code
runs is either skipped or mangled; but otherwise works fine when picked
manually.
