During login my keyboard layout is US.

After logging in the layout is France, which is what I have configured via System/Preferences/Keyboard

The following sequence of events led to this problem
- Installed 8.04, keyboard layout was fine
- installed NVIDIA drivers using EnvyNG, forcing manual install because Hardy/EnvyNG didn't recognize the card
- keyboard layout still fine
- tried to configure my location in Clock Preferences, but that seemed to lock up X server at least partially
- after fiddling around a bit, I rebooted (sudo reboot now)
- A blue screen appeared giving me 3 options, one of which was to repair my x-server or something like that.
- Big mistake here; I chose the repair option instead of just rebooting
- Ubuntu replaced my xorg.conf and apparently did some other things also
- the keyboard layout was now set to USA
- I reset it to France via System/Preferences/Keyboard
- But the layout during login remains USA
