Public bug reported:

Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

In /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules there is the following XML Files

base.xml
base.extras.xml
evdev.xml
evdev.extras.xml

plus some symbolic links.

evdev & base are pretty much the same, and Gnome-control-center uses
evdev files.

evdev.extras.xml has information on extra language/keyboard layouts,
including APL, Franch Canadian, Dvorak layouts, and so on. and these are
not picked up by the keyboard layout in gnome-control-center.

I copied the layout information from evdev.extras.xml and gnome-control-
center picked these up, however after updates (to xkb) these files are
reverted and the options are no longer available.

gnome-control-center should look in both evdev.xml and evdev.extras.xml
for these options

** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
