Bug#365642: gnome: Selecting a compose key crashes Gnome

[Wouter van Reeven]

Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.12.3
Severity: normal

Selecting the Desktop menu item and then Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layout Options -> Compose key position, selecting any option and clicking the 
Close button will crash Gnome. Sometimes, clicking the Close button isn't necessary. It is impossible to login again with Gnome crashing if you try 
to anyway, until the file .gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/%gconf.xml is edited and the option is removed again.
