Error activating XKB configuration.

[Roy Isbell]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

The following is the additional information I was asked to provide from the following that appeared in a pop up screen:

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
11001000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
 • The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
 • The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

As requested here is the information:

xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "applealu_ansi", "gb", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "applealu_ansi", "gb", "", ""
