$ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.input-sources
org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources false
org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options @as []
org.gnome.desktop.input-sources per-window false
org.gnome.desktop.input-sources current uint32 0
org.gnome.desktop.input-sources mru-sources @a(ss) []
org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources [('xkb', 'fr')]

The only things which caught my eyes were:
