When it loses the key map, does Onboard switch to US English key labels? 
Then this old bug here might be related:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/837456
Recent versions of Ubuntu seem no longer affected, but I keep hearing similar 
issues with Ubuntu flavors and other distributions.

'setxkbmap <your kbmap>' or 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-
configuration' used to help, but only for the current session. IIRC the
latter worked because it called setxkbmap at configuration time, only
once, though, not on reboot.

Perhaps try calling setxkbmap or lxkeymap early, in ~/.xprofile, or even
~/.profile?

Good, they should be always in sync. Unfortunately it's largely out of our 
(Onboard's) hands then. X for some unknown reason decides to switch the key map 
and Onboard just reflects that change.
