Comment 38 for bug 67188

Confirmed for Intrepid Alpha (64-Bit) as of today. This error occured since an update yesterday. (Originally a fresh install of Intrepid Alpha 2 with permanent updates.) MacBook Pro rev. 3.

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:

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

There are various MacBook Pro keyboard issues in launchpad. I don't know if this a keyboard issue. Since this error message occurs, something is wrong with the theme, too: E.g. Firefox has a blue window bar instead of a brown one and a slightly different look, too.
