I used the gconf-editor to erase jp106 substring from "layouts", and this has cured the popup error messages. This also disabled Russian keyboard, though. gconftool-2 showed layouts = [jp], as expected. Then I added the keyboard I need via Gnome interface, and got it working. gconftool-2 shows layouts = [jp, ru phonetic] as it was needed. I suppose this is resolved is some way, at least for me. (probably the squeeze installer/updater needs to be more aggressive in cleaning up unknown options...) Thank you all for your time, Dmitrii. PS. I wish the experience of fixing this did not resemble editing Windows registry that much :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
