Hm, using setxkbmap you wouldn't need any layout entries in xorg.conf. 
But I must admit that the xkb plugin doesn't like it when setting 
layouts via setxkbmap, it actually crashes here and after restarting the 
panel, I too have only the us layout left.

Try this: although it shouldn't do any harm, comment out the 
"XkbVariant" entry in your xorg.conf for now. Log out of xfce, then 
restart your X server (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and log back in. If the 
plugin now shows the two layouts (us and cz), that's fine and, for the 
time being, you should not use setxkbmap together with the plugin. Then 
uncomment the "XkbVariant" entry and try again (don't forget to restart 
the X server).

Btw, what distro and X server version are you using?

Best,  Nick.
