Not sure. Have you sent to some bug report the outputs of those commands
the error message asks you to send?

Just for the record, this is what I get on my Xorg test environment
after setting it up to use the 'la' layout and loging in with a new
user:

test@alface:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) =3D "xorg", "pc105", "la", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) =3D "xorg", "pc105", "la", "", ""
test@alface:~$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
 layouts =3D [us]
 model =3D pc105
 overrideSettings =3D false
 options =3D []
 update_handlers =3D []

Xorg outputs nothing about xkb problems with this setup... My xorg.conf
looks like:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "la"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    ""
EndSection

I'm not being able to reproduce this. Where did you get your Xorg from?
Maybe you could try those packages I am using, or tell me where to grab
the ones you used so I can setup a similar environment here?

Thanks!
