Bug Description

When trying to add Bulgarian phonetic layout I am getting an error, which then appears everytime upon reboot. The dialogue claims the error is either in libxklavier, xkbcomp or xmodmap, or X with incompatible libxkbfile implementation.

->xprop -root | grep XKB outputs:

_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us,bg", "bds,", "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us,bg", "bds", "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

->and then gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd outputs:

 layouts = [us bds,bg,bg phonetic]
 model =
 overrideSettings = true
 options = []

Any ideas why I can't add/use a Bulgarian phonetic layout?

Is this bulgarian a self-written layout or some other layout?

What does "setxkbmap -print" and "setxkbmap -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY" print?

I am not sure what do you mean by "self written", but in the previous
version of Ubuntu there was not problem using it. The last Ubuntu
version creates problems though.

I am aware of that, but since I was using Ubuntu for translation work
and there was no Bulgarian keyboard layout I had to switch back to
Windows for the time being. I've provided some info in my initial
posts, if it is of any help.

Thank you!

Hex,

Stanley has reported that this does not show up in the recent
Beta of Dapper. Can you confirm or deny this?

Thanks.

Yes, it has some problems and I had to edit xorg.conf to make a workaround.

It works, however it still gives errors after logging in.

Still happens in Feisty.
And I had to remove ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/ to get rid of the error message that appears every time I login.

For me changing layouts and keyboard options was working mostly fine since hardy, although I could reproduce this bug once, probably just some glitch. Currently cannot reproduce with intrepid.
