I am not confident applying this patch to squeeze, because it is not a
proper fix. The proper fix would be to store xkb options together with
the layout, and it requires changing the specification for .dmrc files.

In gdm 3.x upstream abandoned keyboard configuration in the greeter
entirely so this is no longer a problem.
