Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils

When the Macbook / Macbook Pro keyboard configuration is selected, I get
a popup error:

Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10604000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

The (less specific? not sure why there are two) Apple Laptop
configuration does not throw an error.

$ xprop -root |grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "macbook78", "us", "mac", "lv3:ralt_switch"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "apple_laptop", "us", "mac", "lv3:ralt_switch"

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [us	mac]
 options = []
 model = macbook78
