In my case I can reproduce by doing:
System > Preferences > Keyboard
tab "Layout Options"
Miscellaneous compat. options
Specials Keys handles in a server.
i then get 3 error dialogs and when i log out i cannot log in again
removing ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/%gconf.xml lets
me log in again

Hope this helps
