This is probably more related to the XKB mapping than to the power
manager itself.

Please show the output of the following:
	gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
	xprop -root | grep XKB

Also, it would be nice to know when this started happening: was it after
the gnome-settings-daemon upgrade, after the X.org upgrade or after the
libxklavier upgrade?

Thanks,
