This appears to be a gnome problem as KDE does not produes this error message.
This is a problem with the implementation of particular keyboard layouts. Previously, this was reported regarding the ca_enhanced layout in bug #125722, specifically in this comment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125722#c10 In addition, the following two layouts are also broken: de_CH and fr_CH. These bugs are critcal for those of us with keyboards sporting the broken layouts. The bug is, I believe, in control-center, not in xorg.
*** Bug 165420 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
AFAIK the problem is solved; I didn't have any problems testing Gnome with the de_ch keyboard layout. Thank you.
