Unfortunately yes, at least for me. In my case it definitely has to do with the fact that I have a USB hard disk reporting itself as a keyboard, this is confusing xklavier and causing gsd to crash. I run the command "xinput --set-prop "Western Digital My Book" "Device Enabled" 0" in my .xstartup and start gsd manually and this fixes it for me but I don’t think for other people. Gsd needs to handle errors better from xklavier apparently.
