In the forums I found some posts on this subject which lead to looking at Bugzilla reports. On my wife's machine I tried downgrading libxklavier to version 3.6. It fixed the problem on her machine. There were also reports of someone doing some changes using gnome's config editor and fixing it that way. - Mark
