I'm suddenly experiencing this problem too on Ubuntu 13.10, with a Norwegian keyboard. No problems during login, only after logging in.

[Development Fix] In the upstream bug tracker is a patch from Peter Hutterer which identifies a flaw in the ossmath map (which is included in keypad(oss), which is in turn pulled in by fr(oss)). This patch has been included in Quantal. [Stable Fix] Same patch as in quantal is proposed here. [Test Case] 1. Add the French (alternative) layout as first listed before US. 2. Reboot 3. After rebooting, the indicator menu shows French (alternative) selected. 4. On a US keyboard, tap the 'm' key Broken Behavior: 'm' is printed, as per the US keymap Fixed Behavior: ',' is printed, as per the fr(oss) keymap [Regression Potential] The patch has not been committed to the upstream git tree; I usually like to see it taken upstream before we take it in ubuntu, but the patch itself seems to be good. Still, I'm hoping we'll see upstream commit the patch before we roll this out to -updates. ossmath is included in a number of keymaps (although far from all), so the impact of a regression would be larger than just users of fr(oss). [Original Report] This is a break-out bug from bug 960096. Also ref https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47671 When you have fr/oss "French (alternative)" layout as your first layout, you end up with "us" instead. If you enable libxklavier debugging output, you'll see the following in your logs: "Unexpected by libxklavier X ERROR: 0x8351fb8, 163f0005, 2 [], X11 request: 145, minor code: 9" xkl_debug(200, "Unexpected by libxklavier X ERROR: %p, " WINID_FORMAT ", %d [%s], " "X11 request: %d, minor code: %d\n", dpy, (unsigned long) evt->resourceid, (int) evt->error_code, buf, (int) evt->request_code, (int) evt->minor_code); That 2 in there is the X error code, which means _XkbErrMissingTypes for xkbfile extension. I assume 145 is the major op code that got assigned for the XKBFile extension. If so, 9 is the X_kbSetMap request. Which all fits with an error trying to set the new layout map.
