In my case I can now reproduce it: Just unplug the receiver from the USB
jack and plug it in again. This makes it impoosible to use my own
layout, UNLESS I add another one, doesn't matter which one, THEN select
my own one. Then I can delete the one I just added.

So it seems like adding a new layout resets the whole thing, kind of.

In my case, since I only need ONE layout, the problem could be solved, somewhat 
ugly, by making sure that the ”default” layout is my own, but I don't know how 
to do that yet. What I mean is, when I type ”xprop -root | grep XKB” in a 
virtual console, the response is:
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "se", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "se", "johnny", 
"grp:alts_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,compose:caps,altwin:left_meta_win"

I wouold prefer the following response, I guess:
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "se", "johnny", 
"grp:alts_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,compose:caps,altwin:left_meta_win"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "se", "johnny", 
"grp:alts_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,compose:caps,altwin:left_meta_win"

But I have no idea where to change _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING).

And if you use several layouts, this ugly fix wouldn't work anyway, would it?
Just a thought anyway. The best thing would be to make sure the connection 
between the OS and the keyboard was never lost.
