Hi Stephen,

I keep getting this error message since the day i removed all selected 
keyboard layouts from Applications\Desktop preferences\Keyboard
in order to have Gnome *not* overwrite the keyboard layout defined in 
xorg.conf.
The error seems harmless so i have never bothered filing a bug report 
about it. It disappears as soon as i select a keyboard layout.

HTH,
