keyboard layout is being reset on every reboot

[Felix Zweig]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

After changing the keyboard layout from the default one (I selected a wrong while installing), the new when cannot be saved across a reboot.

I selected "us intl" in the installation, but changed it to "us altgr-intl" afterwards using dpkg-reconfigure -plow console-setup. Then, I changed it in GNOME and was able to use the new layout in this session. After a reboot, GNOME uses both layouts (the old one as default, the new one as fallback), while xorg uses only the new one.

I also discovered that the gconf key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd is beeing reset, even after removing the write access to the %gconf.xml file.

Do not forget to switch to the new keyboard layout at the bottom of the login screen

Could somebody try if that's still an issue in Oneiric?
