I had a problem of the USA keyvoard re-appearing on every boot along with my chosen layouts(usa altgr and israel).
So at every boot I had to remove it from Preferences->Keyboard.

I followed advice here, removing dmrc, and %gconf.xml.

Also edited /etc/default/console-setup as advised on one of the duplicates of this.
to show:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,il"
XKBVARIANT="altgr-intl,"
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

And now on every boot I *only* have the standard USA keyboard.
Clicking on "Reset to Defaults" in "Keyboard Preferences" changes to my preferred setting(us algr-intl and israel), without the standard USA(exactly as I want it to be).

This reverts on every boot so I have to go to keyboard preferences and reset to defaults every time I log in.
Apply system-wide doesn't help either.

I am using Karmic 64, gdm version 2.28.1-0ubuntu2.1(latest from official repo)
