Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gconf2

gconf2 crashes on starting. It doesn't matter if I start it from .bashrc or 
from a terminal emulator, It crashes in both case.
The error caused by following reasons:
- libxklavier library error
- X server error (xkbcomp, xmodmap)
of
- X server uses incompatible libxkbfile.

Very annoying bug, because I can't use neither tightvncserver because of 
another bug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=479671
If I connect to tightvncserver from some client, the keyboard layout is messed 
up. The only solution was to add the following line to .bashrc:
"  gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts --type List 
--list-type String [aa] "

It's an old and still unfixed bug in tightvncserver package.
Now the gconf2 is broken, so I can't use neither tightvncserver.
