F15 beta rc2 gnome and keyboard issues

I just tried the rc2 live image on a laptop as a test this evening.

It boots, and Gnome 3 loads up - and I can connect to wireless. I yum
updated the main gnome* and xorg* packages as well as the libgnome*
package set - and then set about seeing gnome 3 behaviour.

However I have a UK keyboard - when I went to settings, and selected
keyboard I get a crash on control-center - so I can't change keyboard
to UK.

If I go into system-settings and try to change region I can select
English(UK) - and when I logout and back in that sticks - but whatever
I do I cannot get a UK keyboard!

I also looked for settings in gdm ahead of login to see if a UK
keyboard option exists - and I can't find any -

Does anyone know of a workaround at this stage?  Without a UK keyboard
it is difficult to progress since many passwords use have other
characters than A-Z/0-9 ....

Thanks
