Adjust default keyboard layout based on hostname

Browse source 
Detects the hostname of the x system starting up and sets the keyboard
default layout accordingly to german or eurkey. Uses either the $HOST or
$HOSTNAME variable, of which the first should typically be set. If no
hostname is detected defaults to eurkey layout. Hostname detection is
hardcoded for now, since I don't anticipate many changes.
