Comment 3 for bug 223555

Ok, more info about my issue :

The above workaround seemed to work for me, but actually does not .

1. I moved the keyboard folder to my home directory.
2. i logged out and logged in, opened the gnome terminal : great my keyboard was working again !
3. i tried to configure my network, i opened the network setting stuff, clicked on "unlock", and entered my password
4. i tried to add a new DNS and ... WTF ? My keyboard just broke again ! It seems something happened when i unlock this panel ...

I reproduced this steps several times, to be sure, and the keyboard layout is broken each time after unlocking this panel.
Then i tried to be smarter, as root, i removed the writing rights on the .gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard folder (for all user including root), then i replayed the steps again, and damn, the keyboard still breaks after pressing the unlock button :-/
I didn't try to unlock other configuration dialogs, because honestly, i was a bit furious, and now i am writing this using Windows XP.
