Bug#314792: gnome-applets: nls configuration of the keyboard switcher causes x-window to crash

[alex bodnaru]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.12.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #314792

after adding a keyboard layout or a language switching option, the .gconf 
contains the configured option, but x-window crashes untill i remove these 
options.
this happens with xserver-xorg-6.90, intermitently with gnome-vfs-2.12,
and constantly with gnome-vfs-2.14.
maybe an api change in 6.90 as oposed to previous 6.82?
the underlying x code may be correct, as i can switch the keyboard layout by:
setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,il , and 
the gnome keyboard indication applet does show the correct layout.
i have also reported the bug upstream, see:
