I had the same problem using "US keyboard with Slovenian letters" keyboard layout that I had wrongly chosen at install time. Later I realized I wanted just "Slovenian" keyboard layout. I could not delete the original keyboard layout permanently (it would always reappear after reboot, arghhh). Console keyboard layout was wrong. GDM/Xfce keyboard layout was wrong.

Here is how I solved the issue - after reboot undesired keyboard layout
did not appear!


Edited /etc/default/keyboard (previously XKBVARIANT="us"):
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="si"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

Edited /var/lib/gdm/Seat1/.gconf/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/%gconf.xml (previously <stringvalue>si us</stringvalue>):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
	<entry name="recent-layouts" mtime="1317367260" type="list" ltype="string">
		<li type="string">
			<stringvalue>si</stringvalue>
		</li>
	</entry>
	<entry name="recent-languages" mtime="1317367260" type="list" ltype="string">
		<li type="string">
			<stringvalue>en_US.utf8</stringvalue>
		</li>
	</entry>
</gconf>

Reboot!

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

  At install time I wrongly selected the "German Lower Sorbian (QWRTZ)"
  layout. Later using gnome-keyboard-properties from GUI, I add the
  correct keyboard layout "Germany" and remove the "German Lower Sorbian
  (QWRTZ)". After a reboot the "German Lower Sorbian (QWRTZ)" is back
  there as a default keyboard. Minor issue, but annoying. Thanks and
  kind regards, Fabrizio
