Bug Description
I included four keyboard layouts on my Lucid - English US, Nepali, Pakistan CRULP, and Indian Bengali Probhat. The next time I logged in I got an error message as shown below:
-------
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10706000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/
--------------
I did accordingly.
The result of xprop -root | grep XKB:
XKB_RULES_
_XKB_RULES_
And the result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/
layouts = [us,pk urd-crulp,np,in ben_probhat]
options = [grp grp:alts_toggle,grp grp:alt_

-------
Upon checking, I found that the problem seemed to be in the particular variant of the Bengali keyboard layout - Indian Bengali Probhat.

Same problem, but my keyboard layouts are USA, "Czechia qwerty, extended Backslash" and "Iran Persian, with Persian Keypad"; it appears that it's the Iranian layout that's the problem; removing it from the list fixes the problem immediately. The plain Iranian layout has the same problem.
The error message also comes up when one makes changes in the Layouts tab of Keyboard Preferences (eg moving the affected layout up or down in the list).
I'm not able to switch between layouts after the error message.
