Having compiled & installed the packages of GNOME 2.16, when logging in
I am presented with my old friend ;)

 Error activating XKB configuration.
 It can happen under various circumstances:
 - a bug in libxklavier library
 - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
 - X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

 X server version data:
 The X.Org Foundation
 70101000

 If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
 - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
 - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [gb]
 model = 
 options = [Compose key compose:rwin,altwin     altwin:super_win]
