Comment 2 for bug 596652

In my case, (a macbook pro 5.5 with lucid) I get this also when coming back from suspend (I get about 20 concurrent popups with the same error) and also when asociating my bluetooth mouse (about 5 concurrent popups).

When I boot the machine, the keyboard is unresponsive in gdm until, having 2 keyboard layouts available (in this case us mac and us) and switch from one to the other starts working

As a side note, even tough this error pops up when making changes in the keyboard settings, the changes get applied.

francis@naru:~$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [us mac,us]
 options = [lv3 lv3:lalt_switch,grp grp:alts_toggle]
 model = macbook79

francis@naru:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "macbook79", "us,us", ",mac", "lv3:lalt_switch"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "macbook79", "us,us", ",mac", "lv3:lalt_switch"
