Had a (very) similar problem here: Ubuntu (8.10) started with USA layout, I use german layout normally. So I started the keyboard dialog (via command line it is gnome-keyboard-properties), selected "layout" tab, pressed "Add" and in the new dialog I selected "german" from the country list and afterwards application crashed.
On the command line there was some "server unreachable" (or similar) message, so I installed the latest packages "apt-get update;apt-get dist-upgrade" and rebooted. Now default layout is german again, not USA. Choosing a different country and keyboard layout seems to work now too.
