Another confirmation. I have used Ubuntu since Hoary and never encountered this bug until now (after upgrading gutsy to heron.) I have selected a Norwegian layout (no), but start with a us layout after boot. Like someone said above, adding the Norwegian layout again and removing the old layout fixes the problem, but only for the current session.

$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "no", "", "grp:alts_toggle"

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = [no]
 model =
 overrideSettings = false
 options = [grp grp:alts_toggle]

Even if this bug is not fixed in the near future, I would very much appreciate if any of the gurus here can suggest a command-line workaround. It's pretty cumbersome to fix this through the gui after every boot. If you can suggest any logs or commands I should poke around with to try to fix this then I would be glad to help. Thanks.
