1. Boot Ubuntu 10.04 from the LiveCD. Don't change the language; leave it as English. This will make the default keyboard layout "USA" later.
2. Wait for the GNOME desktop to fully load.
3. System > Preferences > Keyboard. Select the Layouts tab, add a random layout, then remove "USA". Click Close. (Not removing the first layout works around this bug.)
4. System > Preferences > Appearance. Change ANYTHING. (Change the theme, or the desktop background, or the font.)
5. Asynchronous crash of gnome-settings-daemon. It takes 5 seconds usually, but after this, the theme changes to something like Redmond in all applications.
I think "XKL_DEBUG=160 gnome-settings-daemon --no-daemon" should be typed before Step 3 above.
