Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.12.3-2
Followup-For: Bug #364944


Just a confirmation, I'm getting this error too.

When making changes to the keyboard settings X crashes with the memory
errors mentioned in the first bug report.

All subsequent attempts to login to gnome will result in X
hanging and ignoring all user input. I was able to get around this by
SSH-ing in and killing off all X related processes.

One of the processes, xrdb, is consistently defunct during a hang.

Removing all GConf settings will allow the user to get back into gnome
and the system will run fine so long as the keyboard settings are left
alone.

I would suggest making this a higher priority bug - this bug actually
affected me after an upgrade due to already existing keyboard
preference settings. This bug effectively halts productivity for any
user who has keyboard preference settings, performs an upgrade and
can't find a way around the X hang.
