So, is it correct to assume that if you leave the Colemak layout *only*,
it works?

Also, can you manually change the displayed order? The reason I ask this
is because Superkb always takes the first keyboard returned by the XKB
API. I am wondering if the order displayed by your GUI really reflects the
order of the reported keyboards or if it is just, for example,
alphabetical sorting. Also, many other algorithmic issues might be getting
in the way.

I'd like to know what happens if you remove all but French and *then* add
US.

Thanks for the following up.
