  Not kwin_wayland, which is the only process the variables need to be set for.
  
  It would be possible to just ignore those environment variables completely and tell kwin the layout over dbus with `org.kde.Keyboard`.
  However, only KWin knows that the user didn't specify a custom layout, so just relaying the locale1 properties to kwin during autostart won't work.
  
  IMO this is the simplest and cleanest way to achieve this.
