Bug Description
I updated my breezy test machine just a few hours ago, and after restarting X it
asked me if I wanted to use the keyboard layout in X or the one in Gnome. Since
both were correct (Swedish) I choosed the X one and ticked the remember this
answer box. After that when I tried to type I noticed that most charcters didn't
work, in fact, only a-z and things like enter and backspace has the correct
mappings. I opened the preferences for the keyboard in gnome, and saw that it
said US layout. When I tried to change it I got an error and the keyboard
settings program crashed. I'll attatch the error in a screenshot in a comment.

Happens with hr layout too. I'm sure daniels is aware of this problem. He's
working so hard on Xorg. I'll confirm the bug, but I'm sure it's safe to put
"pendingupload". Xorg modulization isn't over yet so we can expect even more
bugs in Breezy...

This would seem to be another bug 19031.

I can't run the commands it says to run in the screenshot when reporting a bug
because I don't know how to type all of the characters in that command. If you
need the info someone have to type out the commands here so I can copy and
paste them into a terminal.
