I have removed Iran keyboard layout and the error message has
disappeared but if I try to add it back I get the same message. I can
add almost any other layout that I want though! Could it be a bug in
Iran layout only?

Bug description:
After upgrading to Edgy Eft, the Polish symbols disapeared when I write. 
However, they are properly displayed at the menus, web pages, etc.. During 
logging in, the system showed an error message:
"There is an error of configuration activation of the XKB. This could be caused 
by:
 - error in libxklavier, or X serwera (tools xkbcomp, xmodmap), or serwer X is 
not comptible with libxkbfile implementation.
Version of serwer X:
The X.Org Foundation
70101000"
 The error message also suggests to run:
ra...@domowy:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB

_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "pl", "qwerty", 
"lv3:ralt_switch"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "pl", "qwerty", "lv3:ralt_switch"

and
ra...@domowy:~$ gconftool-2 -R 

/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = []
 model = 
 overrideSettings = true
 options = []

A correct solution requires that Preferences > keyboard (or a similar GUI 
configuration tool) set the keyboard correctly, without requiring editing of 
xorg.conf.  Possibly it will need changed to not update gconf but rather update 
the xorg.conf file directly.


This problem sometimes is caused by a new xorg that doesn't support the 
selected XkbVariant for the configured keyboard layout, and the upgrade program 
doesn't reconfigure xorg.conf (or whatever) correctly to switch to the proper 
layout.
