Well, no, that's actually a very poor reason, usability-wise.  But 
unfortunately the implementation is hard to fit into a better user 
interface in this case.

As David suggests, we might try some kind of runtime on-demand 
integration that "knows" whether or not you're running Xfce and thus 
have a 'Keyboard Settings' dialog.  I think Stephan was working on 
something months ago, but decided to postpone it to 4.8.
