There seem to be indications that they're removing libgnomekbd from future versions of gnome, so it is likely that we will not have this problem in the future. However, for now (and for purposes of SRU) we can use this patch to fix the problem. I have also escalated this to the gnome bugzilla in the off chance that they either continue to use libgnomekbd or that they decide to merge this patch before pruning the code.
