The inability to switch from initial US default to User may be connected to the feature that the user preference flag can not be set.
On the system - preferences - keyboard - [layouts] tab - although any loaded keyboard type can be selected (say for deletion)
 The radio button <default>indicator can not be selected to indicate the user's choice is activated as default.

On mine, although editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf has worked, and the machine now selects my Spanish keyboard on start-up,
I would have to edit this xorg.conf file again to set the default to something else.

Was there an update in this area sometime about May 6th 2008?
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.2008 05 06 153915 (contained the correct ES Keyboard)
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.2008 05 06 155231 (contained US Keyboard which should have been deleted)
