I was going to add this to the list of automatically recognized layouts, but
there's something I don't quite understand here. Perhaps you can help clear
up the confusion so I can do that?
According to the list of locale IDs [2], 0x0c0c is "Canadian French" (for
which we already automatically select the XKB layout ca variant fr) and 0x1009
is "Canadian English".
Assuming that is correct, at the very least, it looks like the middle line of
the log output where we map the locale ID to keyboard layout name is wrong
somehow.
Is it the case that you have multiple keyboard layouts installed?
Is it really the case that 0x1009 should be mapped to ca-fr? Is ca-en more
appropriate, but you happen to want to use ca-fr?
