I can eliminate XFree86 from the above package list. Nothing at all has changed in XFree86 related to xkb that would cause the problem described in this bug report. I suspect that one of the GNOME packages above, or system-config-keyboard were a likely cause of the problem. Thanks for the update. Closing as fixed in RAWHIDE by some unknown package. ;o)
This error still shows up for me, in current rawhide.

I just performed an up2date on my FC2 test2 system (14/4/2004), and encountered the exact scenario from Comment #5 above. My xprop and gconftool replies are also identical to James'. Note that I hadn't experienced the problem prior to this, and had previously done a full package update on 12/4/2004. Therefore, it seems that one of the package versions from the second update is the culprit. I have all development packages installed for FC2, so my package list is quite large, but here's the full listing of the packages I installed on the 14th (all 135 of them): anaconda-9.92-0.20040414005532.i386.rpm anaconda-runtime-9.92-0.20040414005532.i386.rpm balsa-2.0.17-1.i386.rpm control-center-2.6.0.3-2.i386.rpm cpp-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm distcache-1.4.5-2.i386.rpm distcache-devel-1.4.5-2.i386.rpm eog-2.6.0-2.i386.rpm esound-0.2.34-2.i386.rpm esound-devel-0.2.34-2.i386.rpm festival-1.4.2-21.i386.rpm festival-devel-1.4.2-21.i386.rpm gcc-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm gcc-c++-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm gcc-g77-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm gcc-gnat-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm gcc-java-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm gcc-objc-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm gedit-2.6.0-3.i386.rpm gedit-devel-2.6.0-3.i386.rpm ggv-2.6.0-2.i386.rpm gimp-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm gimp-devel-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm gnome-mag-0.10.10-2.i386.rpm gnome-mag-devel-0.10.10-2.i386.rpm gnome-speech-0.3.2-2.i386.rpm gnome-speech-devel-0.3.2-2.i386.rpm gnome-system-monitor-2.6.0-2.i386.rpm gnome-terminal-2.6.0-2.i386.rpm gnome-themes-2.6.0-2.i386.rpm gnome-user-docs-2.6.0.1-2.noarch.rpm gnomemeeting-1.0.2-2.i386.rpm gnopernicus-0.8.1-2.i386.rpm gnucash-1.8.9-1.i386.rpm gnucash-backend-postgres-1.8.9-1.i386.rpm gok-0.10.0-2.i386.rpm gthumb-2.3.2-2.i386.rpm gtksourceview-1.0.0-2.i386.rpm gtksourceview-devel-1.0.0-2.i386.rpm kernel-2.6.5-1.322.i686.rpm kernel-doc-2.6.5-1.322.i386.rpm kernel-source-2.6.5-1.322.i386.rpm krb5-devel-1.3.3-1.i386.rpm krb5-libs-1.3.3-1.i386.rpm krb5-server-1.3.3-1.i386.rpm krb5-workstation-1.3.3-1.i386.rpm libcroco-0.4.0-4.i386.rpm libcroco-devel-0.4.0-4.i386.rpm libf2c-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm libgcc-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm libgcj-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm libgcj-devel-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm libgnat-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm libgnome-2.6.0-2.i386.rpm libgnome-devel-2.6.0-2.i386.rpm libgsf-1.8.2-3.i386.rpm libgsf-devel-1.8.2-3.i386.rpm libgtop2-2.5.2-2.i386.rpm libgtop2-devel-2.5.2-2.i386.rpm libobjc-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm librsvg2-2.6.4-2.i386.rpm librsvg2-devel-2.6.4-2.i386.rpm libstdc++-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm libstdc++-devel-3.3.3-7.i386.rpm libtool-1.5.6-1.i386.rpm libtool-libs-1.5.6-1.i386.rpm lm_sensors-2.8.6-1.i386.rpm lm_sensors-devel-2.8.6-1.i386.rpm openh323-1.13.4-2.i386.rpm openh323-devel-1.13.4-2.i386.rpm pam-0.77-39.i386.rpm pam-devel-0.77-39.i386.rpm parted-1.6.9-2.i386.rpm parted-devel-1.6.9-2.i386.rpm policy-1.11.2-1.noarch.rpm policy-sources-1.11.2-1.noarch.rpm policycoreutils-1.10-2.i386.rpm popt-1.9.1-0.2.i386.rpm rhpl-0.139-1.i386.rpm rpm-4.3.1-0.2.i386.rpm rpm-build-4.3.1-0.2.i386.rpm rpm-devel-4.3.1-0.2.i386.rpm rpm-python-4.3.1-0.2.i386.rpm rpmdb-fedora-1.91-0.20040414.i386.rpm samba-3.0.3-2.pre2.i386.rpm samba-client-3.0.3-2.pre2.i386.rpm samba-common-3.0.3-2.pre2.i386.rpm samba-swat-3.0.3-2.pre2.i386.rpm setools-1.2.1-7.i386.rpm setools-gui-1.2.1-7.i386.rpm setuptool-1.14-1.i386.rpm startup-notification-0.6-2.i386.rpm startup-notification-devel-0.6-2.i386.rpm sysstat-5.0.1-2.i386.rpm system-config-display-1.0.13-1.noarch.rpm system-config-samba-1.2.9-2.noarch.rpm system-config-securitylevel-1.3.10-5.i386.rpm system-config-securitylevel-tui-1.3.10-5.i386.rpm system-config-services-0.8.8-8.noarch.rpm system-config-soundcard-1.2.7-4.noarch.rpm system-config-users-1.2.11-5.noarch.rpm udev-023-2.i386.rpm up2date-4.3.16-1.i386.rpm up2date-gnome-4.3.16-1.i386.rpm w3m-0.5-2.i386.rpm xorg-x11-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-ISO8859-14-100dpi-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-ISO8859-14-75dpi-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-ISO8859-15-100dpi-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-ISO8onts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-ISO8859-9-100dpi-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-ISO8859-9-75dpi-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-Xnest-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-Xvfb-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-base-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-cyrillic-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-devel-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-doc-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-font-utils-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-libs-data-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-sdk-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-syriac-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-tools-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-truetype-fonts-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-twm-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-xauth-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-xdm-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm xorg-x11-xfs-6.7.0-0.4.i386.rpm Hopefully, we'll be able to cross-reference against the package deltas of others who encounter the problem to narrow things down.

I had the same problem also after upgrading to all the updates for test 2 release. I have found a work around for now Create the following sysbolic link in the following directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules xfree86-it.lst -> xorg-it.lst xfree86.lst -> xorg.lst xfree86.xml -> xorg.xml Mark
This work around works for me, however, it only works for the root user. When I log in as a non-privleged, I still get the error, my task bar is missing, and I have no desktop icons. All of this came about after running up2date on a freshly installed Fedora Core 2 Test 2 box.

I had the same problem on fc2 final (running ltsp). I used Mark Westerman's workaround: Create the following sysbolic link in the following directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules xfree86.lst -> xorg.lst xfree86.xml -> xorg.xml
