slock man page says

        SYNOPSIS
             slock [-v] [cmd [arg ...]]

        DESCRIPTION
             slock is a simple X screen locker. If provided, cmd [arg ...] is executed after the screen has been locked.
        
so, you probably can do something like

        slock setxkbmap -layout "us" -variant "intl-unicode"

And I should probably do so, too, and remove some mental load. Thanks for
making me think about it.

cheers
