Bug#367779: Changing Keyboard Layout Freezes Entire System

[Jochen Miroll]

Package: gnome-session
Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Package: gnome-core
Version: 2.14

My problem is very similar to this previously posted mailing list entry:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/04/msg04126.html

When I change the keyboard layout in Gnome with the corresponding app in 
the system settings of Gnome (e.g. from pc-101 to pc-104), the system 
completely freezes with no errors being written to any log file (afaik). 
There is no response to kbd, mouse or network (ssh). Only reset is possible.
