This bug is also affecting my system, upgraded via apt-get based command
line instructions from 6.10 to 7.04.  I have a standard keyboard
attached which works fine but primary access is through VNC.  System is
unusable through VNC as keyboard mappings are all wrong.  Tried
installing FreeNX as well and while I can use the remote desktop through
FreeNX it suffers from the same scrambled keys.  This is a CRITICAL bug
for those who primarily access an Ubuntu system through a remote desktop
solution.  Note that my keymapping errors vary from previous posts with
'qwerty' showing as '-^^^wq' where ^ is an unprinted control character.
I also saw the dialog upon startup of a mismatch between keyboard
settings in X and those in Gnome being out of sync.  I chose to use the
Gnome settings.  Previously when I got the message I chose the X
settings and both behaved the same.  I have tried various settings in
the System > Preferences > Keyboard with no apparent affect.
