Hello Pierre,

I thought that was my last suggestion, though I have now had another that *may* 
actually work.

Take a look at /etc/gdm/Xsession

Within there they most certainly do have a keyboard layout section, perhaps you 
could remove the string variable and just hard-code the keyboard layout there.

Regards,

Christopher.
