Okay, I've gotten some responses, and I've gone through my system, and
made various keyboard changes:

* Set the layout to non-US (I tested Tamil and US with dead keys)
* Added various keyboard layout options
* Checked and unchecked the overrideSettings GConf key

I am not able to reproduce the problem others are seeing.  Everything I
did worked (meaning the desired changes took effect), and did not
produce any errors.

If you're still having a problem with this, I suggest you collect any
console output seen either in ~/.xsession-errors or on your VTY, and
file a bug in GNOME's Bugzilla (I could not find one).  I did not see
any change in g-c-c 2.12.2 that should cause this problem.

If you do file a bug, please follow up to the mailing list with the bug
ID.
