I tried to google if it is possible to change xorg serverflags in runtime,
but was unable to find anything. I think that would be a cleaner solution
(changing the DontVTSwitch option before locking and then restoring later).

Okay, I got it to work in a brute force way: I just added another
setxkbmap command to set my normal options, the same ones as in my
xorg.conf.
But something weird happens when I try the fancy way: saving the options
with "setxkbmap -print >FILE" and then restoring them with "xkbcomp
FILE". It seems that the change I make with "setxkbmap -option FOO" is
never reflected in the output of "setxkbmap -print".
Looks like another place with multiple "levels" of configuration
stepping over each other.
