I have the same problem; If I use the keyboard preferences tool and add the Greek layout, at the next restart i can click and switch the layout on the panel, but I cannot actually write in Greek. I don't know if it's supposed to, but when I do use the panel preferences and add the layout, xorg.conf is NOT modified.
Anw, the solution above (manually modifying xorf.conf) does the trick for now. I am sure though that I had tried this before and after a while it gets reset again. Actually, I have a more general problem that I think is relevant: I lose other personal setting at every restart as well. The main gnome panel moves from where I want it, and the most irritating of all, the Gnome Keyring prompt comes up, even if I have already install the libpam--blah blah and HAD (just once) the chance to tick "Authenticate automatically on login"... (something like that). This is surely a bug. Even if some people could work their ways around it. What is the purpose of GUI if you are not able to use it? I had the problem with an upgrade-install of ubuntu 8.04 over a very- well-working 7.10. I decided to clean install 8.04 to see if this fixed the problem. It actually worked fine for a couple of days I think. The only thing I modified was the bluetooth scripts to enable use of my bluetooth mouse. Does anyone think it's possible this thingy interferes with gnome? For the record, I search the web and found something about changing home directory personal settings files ownership. Didnt work either....
