Hmmm. In my keyboard configuration in KDE I had keyboard switching enabled with the following 3 layouts selected: U.S. English (us) U.S. English w/ deadkeys (us-intl) U.S. English w/ ISO9995-3 (en_US) (AFAICT, the first option in the list should be the default, so I'm a bit confused how the en_US got in the xprop output.) Removing the last two gets rid of the error and results in xprop showing "us" as suggested. Re-adding the two and then switching to the us-intl layout results in an error; entering the command 'setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us_intl' manually from a shell results in: Error loading new keyboard description And _this_ actually causes the line to appear in the log!! Loading the en_US layout does not result in an error. I am sure that when I first selected this configuration, all three layouts worked correctly. I still feel there is a problem in X at the root of this. If us_intl and en_US are no longer valid layouts, why are they still shown in the selection list for KDE? Using the setxkbmap manpage, I got to the file: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst This has: ! layout us U.S. English en_US U.S. English w/ ISO9995-3 us_intl U.S. English w/ deadkeys So it appears as if these layouts _should_ be supported. I would guess that KDE uses this file to build it's list of possible layouts. Or is it just that the us_intl layout is broken somehow? I hope you can clarify.
