XKB Error

Hi,

I've just upgraded from FC1 to FC2.

After the upgrade on reboot I got prompted by kudzu to configure a new keyboard. I didn't think anything of it, but just selected 'yes' (or equivalent).

However, now I am getting the following message every time my system reboots(and it's accompanied by a big red graphic, which makes me nervous ;-) :
- - - BEGINNING OF JOE'S MESSAGE
Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60700000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
- - - END MESSAGE

output from the commands is as follows:
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "gb", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "gb", "", ""

$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
 layouts = [gb]
 model = pc105
 overrideSettings = false
 options = []

Now, I am guessing that it accidentally detected something that wasn't there, and is now trying to use it.

My questions are:
1) Am I correct?
2) Do I need to tell it that it's not there anymore? If so how?
3) What else can I do to solve this problem?

Thanks for any help...

Joe
