Talon doesn't detect keyboard layout changes done by Gnome #540

I am unsure how they are changing the layout internally. Probably something to do with xkb. I will note that their layout changes are not reflected in xmodmap -pk.

If you change the layout with something like setxkbmap us -variant dvorak, that works fine with Talon (and is reflected in xmodmap -pk)

I can repro #532. My setup is CoreOS+i3wm. When building the system I had originally set the keyboard layout through systemd:

localectl set-x11-keymap us '' colemak

This works everywhere I've tried, except that after pressing physical keys, Talon briefly uses the wrong layout. Running setxkbmap us -variant colemak as above fixes the issue until the next reboot.
