Fedora12 keyboard choice setting is not respected.

   I've been seeing this since upgrading to F12 as well.  I've seen hints 
when googling that it's an issue with gdm, but I've not pinned it down.

   I've been having to remember to change the keyboard on login every time. 
  Gut feeling is that it resets back to USA after a reboot, but then leaves 
the keyboard nobbled if you forget and log in with it (incorrect keys 
mapped, etc.)

   I only have LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=uk-logitech that seem relevant.


   I've also seen mention of:

/var/lib/gdm/.gconf/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/%gconf.xml


   Mine had us and the above uk-logitech entries.  I've deleted the us entry 
(3 lines) to see if it makes a difference, but I've a feeling it won't 
(gconf tends to cache in RAM, so changing that file is likely not to do 
anything, and it must've got the 'us' from somewhere else, so it probably 
will again).
