Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please describe the steps required to make it crash? I wasn't able to reproduce it here yet.

Thanks,
Michael

Mine corrected itself this morning, I assume it corrected on re-boot. ??

I was able to reproduce this bug. It crashes when adding a keyboard layout. If you dont select a country but scroll down and then go to the By Language section.

Had a (very) similar problem here: Ubuntu (8.10) started with USA layout, I use german layout normally.
So I started the keyboard dialog (via command line it is gnome-keyboard-properties), selected "layout" tab, pressed "Add" and in the new dialog I selected "german" from the country list and afterwards application crashed.

On the command line there was some "server unreachable" (or similar) message, so I installed
the latest packages "apt-get update;apt-get dist-upgrade" and rebooted.

Now default layout is german again, not USA.
Choosing a different country and keyboard layout seems to work now too.

could you try if that's still an issue using the current intrepid version?

Fresh installation of Intepid in VirtualBox (with all Updates). When trying to add a new keyboard layout the application crashes like discribed already above:

- start gnome-keyboard-properties
- click on "+" to add e new layout
- click on "by language" tab
thats enough -> CRASH
