Just to point out, that correct solution to disabling NBSP is
[ytti@sci ~]% cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/remove_nbsp.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
      <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbOptions" type="string">nbsp:none</merge>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>
[ytti@sci ~]%

Instead of mocking with xorg.conf. This requires restart of hal and xorg. If you do not wish to restart
immediately but still wish to disable nbsp you should issue 'sudo setxkbmap -option "nbsp:none'.
