note that you can't combine variants into one, but you can use two layouts
of two different variants. so you can't have "us that does nodeadkeys and
cat", but you can have two layouts, one nodeadkeys, one cat.
that becomes
setxkbmap -layout "us,us" -variant "foo,bar"
or, easier to understand:
setxkbmap -layout "us(nodeadkeys),us(cat)"
Cheers,
Peter
