I see above that some found a solution to this bug by commenting out the line in the xorg.conf. This, from what I understand, is the reverse of the correct solution.

If you look in gconf-editor : /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/overrideSettings you'll see that these settings are now considered deprecated and should not be used. xorg.conf settings *should* be used. In my testing clearing all values in the above gconf-editor key and placing the proper value in xorg.conf also result in removing the errors reported above.

I suppose this raises another bug. Is System > Preferences > Keyboard now making changes to key values that are deprecated where it should be changing values in xorg? Perhaps we need something more similar to RHEL/FC 'system-config-keyboard'?
