I had the same problem using "US keyboard with Slovenian letters" keyboard 
layout that I had wrongly chosen at install time. Later I realized I wanted 
just "Slovenian" keyboard layout. I could not delete the original keyboard 
layout permanently (it would always reappear after reboot, arghhh). Console 
keyboard layout was wrong. GDM/Xfce keyboard layout was wrong.

Here is how I solved the issue - after reboot undesired keyboard layout
did not appear!


Edited /etc/default/keyboard (previously XKBVARIANT="us"):
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="si"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

Edited /var/lib/gdm/Seat1/.gconf/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/%gconf.xml (previously 
<stringvalue>si us</stringvalue>):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
        <entry name="recent-layouts" mtime="1317367260" type="list" 
ltype="string">
                <li type="string">
                        <stringvalue>si</stringvalue>
                </li>
        </entry>
        <entry name="recent-languages" mtime="1317367260" type="list" 
ltype="string">
                <li type="string">
                        <stringvalue>en_US.utf8</stringvalue>
                </li>
        </entry>
</gconf>

Reboot!
