I have the same problem. I am running Intrepid with last updates.

I use a laptop with the US International keyboard layout. Since I am Brazilian, when I attach an external keyboard to it I use a Brazilian keyboard (ABNT2 model/layout). Untill 8.04 I simply had to add the keyboard applet, configure both layouts and switch between them as appropriate.

Now, in Interpid, if the external keyboard in unplugged and then replugged (physically or by supending), the layout is restored to US(intl). Sometimes the Bra label in the applet also changes to the label "??". Worse, the keyboard applet become nonfunctional (sometimes it freezes, in the sense that a mouse click over it doesn't change the layout or it starts to switch between USA and ?? layouts - but it doesn't actually change the keyboard behavior). To make the applet wake up again I have to issue a

% killall gnome-settings-daemon; sleep 1; gnome-settings-daemon
