This report has become quite messy and requires clean up,
1. The title and description need update; they refer to issues that probably existed in Edgy but not anymore.
2. In these 100+ comments, there are several different issues mixed together, which makes it even more improbable that they will get attention.
3. What I'll do is close this report and invite you to open new individual bug reports for each separate issue.
When filing a new bug report, please select the xkeyboard-config package.

Some guidelines
a. You should not need to edit xorg.conf in order to configure the keyboard layout. If you have to, then you applied a workaround. The problem is still a bug and requires to be fixed. All configuration should be done in the UI so that it is correct. If not, file a report.
b. You can extract the Ubuntu keyboard configuration for layouts with 
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
c. You can test different configurations using the setxkbmap command; you need to create a 'setxkbmap' line using the information from [b]. For example,
setxkbmap -layout us -model macbook79 -variant intl -print | xkbcomp - :0
shows an error which says what the problem is about.

So, please read this post carefully and create new reports where
required.
