Copy /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi
Edit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi:
replace
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge>
with
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">uk</merge>
us can be replaced by uk, fr, etc. - your choice.
Reboot.
