Description:
Description of the crash:
On my Ubuntu Breezy system, gnome-keyboard-properties crashes when
adding a keyboard lay-out.

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. in Gnome panel, choose System - Preferences - Keyboard
2. Choose tab Layouts
3. If there is alreay a keyaboard lay-out, remove it by selecting it and
clicking on the Remove button
4. Click on the Add... button

Expected Results:
Dialog window should appear, which choices of keyboard lay-out, but
instead it crashes. 

How often does this happen?
Always

Additional Information:
I've been bitten by the dreaded xkb error dialog at each login in Gnome,
Alt-Gr keys are not working (I can make them work in a terminal by
running xmodmap - < xmodmap - < /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.be, but then
this works only in that terminal window)
Here is a part of xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "be"

I tried setting the keyboard layout to be via gconf-editor, but that did
not make disappear the xkb error dialog
