This workaround looks very intrusive to me. It adds an unconditional new
autostart .desktop file, which alters the X session startup sequence and
thus is a potential source of regressions.

Also, please consider that GNOME doesn't use X.org's keymap by default,
but manages it on its own. As soon as you use setxkbmap with a
particular option, you break the keyboard layout applet and the "switch
keyboard layout" hotkey. This doesn't *seem* to happen if you call
setxkbmap without parameters, but can we be sure that it doesn't berak
anything else?

If the workaround is well understood and believed to be correct, can we
please call it in gnome-settings-daemon (which handles keyboard layout),
instead of adding a completely new conffile and autostart .desktpo file?
