I'm getting an error message while opening a new session in Gnome or
making any change to the keyboard configuration from the control center.

Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
60900000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

[pts/8] $ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "fr", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "fr,fr", ",latin9",
"grp:alts_toggle"
[pts/8] $ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
layouts = [fr]
model =
overrideSettings = false
options = [grp grp:alts_toggle]
Thanks for having a look! Cheers.
Julien.
