Could you please elaborate?

Sounds sane.

You wrote that the problem was that *writing* into this file was
impossible. I suggested a (trivial) workaround to the issue you were
supposedly facing, to help you move forward. Now you tell me that
*writing* to this file would be useless anyway. Ok, well. There are
tons of other ways to bypass this trivial envvar passing problem, just
implement one of the many sane solutions: better spend time seeking
the right lines of code rather than the final word.

Thanks.

Possibly. I thought you mentioned the Ubiquity code was not
appropriate because it hard-coded a list of layouts. The
gdm-simple-greeter / GNOME3 layout chooser code does not, IIRC, but
this was mentioned already.
Good luck!
