Bug Description
Binary package hint: xfce4-xkb-plugin
I have my keyboard layout configured as follows in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,us"
Option "XkbVariant" ",alt-intl"
EndSection
XFCE keyboard switcher shows only the keyboard layout text label without the keyboard layout variant (in this case Alternative International for the 2nd layout).
Expected behavior: XFCE keyboard switcher should show the layout and variant information.
Similarly, a hint indicating the variant is changing could be added to the flag icon display. I think this is what the same applet in Gnome does.

the variant label can be very long compared to the layout code (two letters) and would make the panel area taken too large (and ugly)
