Frantisek:

The source of the problem appears to be that when X starts, it tries to initialise the current layouts, and I believe that it does a bit later than GNOME itself. As if GNOME sets the layout correctly, then X.org kicks in and resets to the values found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Therefore, one workaround is to place all the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf at they keyboard layout section.

I sent an e-mail to the X.org mailing list,
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-July/036938.html

We will see if that clears up the confusion.
