You could use the default method: /etc/X11/xorg.conf which is
designed to _centralize_ X-related settings. Keyboard settings
can also be put there.

For example, this is what I use to define a german keyboard
layout (and which applies everywhere in X, as intended):

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Keyboard0"
	Driver		"kbd"
	Option		"XkbModel"		"pc105"
	Option		"XkbLayout"		"de"
	Option		"XkbOptions"		"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection

You can employ this approach, changing it to swedish language.
Note that I'm using the X setup "without HAL and DBUS" here.

Additionally, there's the method of using xmodmap with a
custom ~/.xmodmaprc file which can be used to make keyboard
language settings work _independently_ from both xorg.conf
and XML files scattered across the local/ subtree. :-)
