xkbcomp errors should be displayed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
When the user runs gnome-keyboard-properties and some of his settings
cause xkbcomp to fail, the user gets a general error message about
"Error activating XKB configuration" and some obscure hints as to
where the cause might lie. The same holds for starting a Gnome session
with a broken configuration. This leads to little information
available in bugs like the often-duped bug #67188.
Instead, I would like to see the precise error message from xkbcomp
displayed to the user. At least in my original bug #327963, the
information provided there was much more useful to actually locate and
solve the problem.
I guess fixing this problem might include several packages. gnome-
settings-daemon is where the current error dialog is generated, but
the actual call to xkbcomp seems to be in libxklavier, with
libgnomekbd in between. I'll try to mark this bug as affecting all
these packages.
