Comment 2 for bug 324480

Well, the keys have their default values. After modifying my /etc/default/console-setup file, I explicitly reset them (gconftool --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd), hoping that Gnome would then directly pick up the values from X. Here's the result of the command at the moment:
 layouts = []
 model =
 options = []
