I think this kind of error went from saved session.
Try to disable session saving, restart X server, reconfigure and restart again.
Let me know if I'm wrong.

I came in this thought because I saw this error when the results of

xprop -root | grep XKB
and
gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
are differnent configuration.

It could be that with "session saving" active one of the two utilities cannot succed in changing options or configuration.

I experimented this case in LinuxMint (Gnome desktop) and Ubuntu and in both cases disabling session manager solve the bug.

Maybe it's a Gnome bug?

Sorry if I posted the same comment in different bug tracks but I think it's the same.
