Recently (since Squeeze release and my decision to change back to unstable) my gnome desktop keyboard default as moved from Gbr to USA (as witnessed by the little icon to the left of time on my top panel). If I go edit keyboard settings and ensure that United Kingdom is the default layout, and also remove the USA settings it holds OK until my next reboot (the Icon disappears when there is only one setting to choose from).

/etc/default/keyboard has

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="gb"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch"

in it - so it should be set to GB

also there is no such file as

/etc/console-setup/defkeymap.kmap.gz

On next reboot the /etc/default/keyboard seems to be ignored.

Is there a setting somewhere I am missing - I want to automatically have a GB keyboard after I have started up and come into gnome.

also in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/%gconf.xml is this

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
        <entry name="options" mtime="1297494128" type="list" ltype="string">
                <li type="string">
                        <stringvalue>grp  grp:alts_toggle</stringvalue>
                </li>
                <li type="string">
                        <stringvalue>eurosign     eurosign:4</stringvalue>
                </li>
        </entry>
        <entry name="layouts" mtime="1297885004" type="list" ltype="string">
                <li type="string">
                        <stringvalue>gb</stringvalue>
                </li>
        </entry>
</gconf>
