Hmm, I must confess I don't know what the % x key is.
If no, or before, a more elegant solution surfaces, you can always
grep through the 'setxkbmap -print' output, as Google told me.

setxkbmap -print | grep xkb_symbols | sed 's|.*+\([^"]\+\)(.*|\1|'

will print 'us' on my XO.
If you've got it set to 'us' of course.
