same problem here, only the xorg.conf provided in the original comment does not 
work after the login screen with KDE/Kubuntu 7.0.4
I had to use KDE's "regional settings" to correct this:
To reflect the settings in xorg.conf, I chose:
* tab keyboard layout: (in my case German) model/type: Apple, variant mac
the command line now reads:
"setxkbmap -model apple -layout de -variant mac"

This brings back accents and braces at the usual mac-like positions/keys.
To reproduce the "XkbOption   lv3:lwin_switch"-line, go to tab "Xkb-Options", 
check "Xkb-Options" and then "selection on 3rd level" (rough translation from 
my German interface), set to "press left windows key...".
The command line at the bottom now reads:
"setxkbmap -option lv3:lwin_switch"

To use left Apple-key as command key (instead of Ctrl), you have to use
KDE's "keyboard&mouse"-settings, switch to tab "special keys" and select
"macintosh keyboard" and "special keys like in MacOS".

In an open Konqueror, these settings are not applied immediately, but in
other apps it works perfectly now.
