I've also encountered this issue. My solution was to capture the xmodmap
-pke output as ${HOME}/.Xmodmap at the login screen (DISPLAY=:0
XAUTHORITY=/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth sudo xmodmap -pke > ${HOME}/.Xmodmap).
When gnome-settings-daemon starts up and finds an .Xmodmap, it asks if
it should be loaded -- I answer yes. As a side effect, if gnome-
settings-daemon were to be restarted without the .Xmodmap, it'd scramble
the keyboard layout again. With an .Xmodmap in place, it'll load the
.Xmodmap every time.
Due to another issue (#199245, gnome-settings-daemon crashing with
BadWindow every time a window is mapped), I disabled the keyboard plugin
using gconf-editor, at /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/keyboard.
Since it's not being loaded, I suspect it might not garble the layout
even if I remove the .Xmodmap now.
So maybe disabling the keyboard plugin is a better fix.
