Interesting, I didn't actually realize that myself before.

According to this link
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Configuration_du_clavier_apr%C3%A8s_l%27installation
the XkbLayout should read "ch(fr)" instead of "fr_CH-latin1", as the
system console and X.org seem to use a different notation for selecting
the layout in this particular case:
- Dans le terminal - Pour la Suisse romande:
loadkeys fr_CH-latin1
- Dans X11 / Xorg - Configurer le clavier de manière permanente:
Option "XkbLayout" "ch(fr)"
Then, this should work as well:
localectl set-x11-keymap 'ch(fr)' pc105 nodeadkey

That could be possible, of course. On FreeBSD, with the keyboard layout configured the old-fashioned way via /etc/X11/xorg.conf, KDE does respect
the system-wide settings. I would expect KDE to behave the same on CentOS.
However, I only had to deal with easy layouts like "de" and "us" so far;
Swiss-French might pose a bit more of a challenge. ;-)
