I think this kind of error went from saved session.
Try to disable session saving, restart X server, reconfigure and restart again.
Let me know if I'm wrong.
I came in this thought because I saw this error when the results of
xprop -root | grep XKB gnome/periphera ls/keyboard/ kbd
and
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/
are differnent configuration.
It could be that with "session saving" active one of the two utilities cannot succed in changing options or configuration.
I experimented this case in LinuxMint (Gnome desktop) and Ubuntu and in both cases disabling session manager solve the bug.
Maybe it's a Gnome bug?
Sorry if I posted the same comment in different bug tracks but I think it's the same.
