Title:
  can't change keyboard layout

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  Hello,
  Serious keyboard problems with Ubuntu 10.10

  I changed my keyboard, now I need to change the layout from "Italy" to
  "Switzerland French".

  I opened "gnome-terminal", then typed "sudo gnome-keyboard-properties", went to "Layout" tab, added the new layout, moved it up, pressed "Apply to whole system"and clicked on "Close". The result is as expected:
  1. "Switzerland French"
  2. "Italy"

  Everything worked fine till I reboot. After reboot the layout returned from "Switzerland French" to "Italy", so I went again to  "gnome-keyboard-properties", and the result was:
  1. "Italy"
  2. "Switzerland French"

  At this point I thought, why keeping the old layout, so after moving
  up "Switzerland French" to the top (again), I deleted the "Italy"
  layout, and to be sure I applied it to the whole system, closed it,
  then I tried it in "gedit" (everything was fine the right layout is
  active), finally I thought let's check it out another time (just the
  layout I need was in the list of "gnome-keyboard-properties") and
  reboot the system.

  After the second reboot the "Italy" layout showed up again on top:
  1. "Italy"
  2. "Switzerland French"
  and the wrong layout was active once again.

  I had this problem also on Ubuntu 8.04 two years back. Can anybody tell me where I can correct this, or at lease give me hint??? Last time I reinstalled Ubuntu, because nobody had an answer to this problem, which is still not corrected.
  Can anybody tell me where to find those source and config files, I will try to fix this.

  Thank you and best regards.
