When I try to remove a keyboard layout from Keybopard Preferences and
when there is a syntax error within the layout configuration (no comma
between 2nd and 3rd cases:     key <TLDE> {        [     Cyrillic_io,
Cyrillic_IO            apostrophe,       asciitilde      ]       };) the
following error is displayed. It does not allow indentification of the
real reason.

Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10604000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd


Xorg logs are not very helpful, too:
(EE) Error loading keymap /var/lib/xkb/server-0.xkm


Is it possible to display meaningful error?
