Yeah, I thought so, but then I figured out that this could be solved by
modifying the code for slim-service-type and posted it on "dev".
If it's just a matter of configuring the service-type, then you're
right, I should have posted it on "help".

I tried something a bit different with SLiM:
```
(service slim-service-type
(slim-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)
```
I don't now why, but `(keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "us" "dvorak"))`
was throwing an error.
It seems to work… actually, it's been building linux-libre for half
an hour now, so I cannot really tell right now! ^_^'
Thanks for the help!
I'll post to "help" if this does not solve my problem!
