Thanks Guys.

that's potentially pretty tricky. what is the keyboard layout code for such a thing
(possibly contained in /etc/default/keyboard if you've set it up).
I believe there is french-switzerland setup. is that it?

not sure which tool to use under XFCE (or setxkbmap code) but this is included already

It's already included. You need to look with keyboard layout settings for "German" layouts, which this "variant" is based on.
Layout: German(Switzerland)
Variant: French(Switzerland):
For LiveUSB keyboard boot parameter would be kbd=ch kbvar=fr

the command would be with a space between layout code and variant code:
or with options displayed:
otherwise the command "setxkbmap ch,fr" would set two layouts for "German(Switzerland)" and for "French".
