Bug#366952: gconf2: Keyboard Preferences crashes Gnome

[Romain Riviere]

Package: gconf2
Version: 2.14.0-1
Severity: normal

When modifying the Layout Options (in my case, selecting a Compose key), Gnome crashed, dragging X with it, and sent me back
to gdm. Subsequent attempts to start Gnome (from gdm, from console, using failsafe) failed. The *ONLY* solution
was for me to manually remove the ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/%gconf.xml
