I just created that file, with the following contents:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
setxkbmap -model "pc105" -layout "fr,gb" -option 
"grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

After a logout/login from StumpWM, I tried it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
address@hidden ~>qwerty
zsh: command not found: qwerty

address@hidden ~>~QWERT
zsh: no such user or named directory: QWERT

address@hidden ~>~qwerty
zsh: no such user or named directory: qwerty

address@hidden ~>~QWERT
zsh: no such user or named directory: QWERT
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

As you can see:

- I am, by default, in qwerty keyboard -- while I expect French with the above
  line;

- When pressing Caps Lock, it does insert a tilde sign, and switches to
  capital letters, but not to another keyboard layout...

So, from what I understand, (it's like if) the file `.xession' is not read?

Best regards,
  Seb
