Bug Description

I was running the Keyboard Layout program and had just tried to remove one of the 4 layouts I had set up in the layout switcher, when it crashed.

I had just updated all packages.

A few minutes after this, I reinstalled xfce4-xkb-plugin with Synaptic, and also x11-xkb-utils.

# apt-show-versions xfce4-xkb-plugin x11-xkb-utils
x11-xkb-utils/precise uptodate 7.6+4
xfce4-xkb-plugin/precise uptodate 0.5.4.3-1ubuntu1

I seem to be able to add and remove layouts now, without a crash. Possibly adding x11-xkb-utils helped?

sudo apt-get install xfce4-xkb-plugin

Testing welcome!
