you'll need to look for that update and try to fix it cause it may be that
one that is breaking you keyb layout....

hold on a sec, i don't know if is cz or cs.... you should look for you
internazionalizzation settings....

i don't know how gnome works, cause i hate it!!!! i'm a true kde crusader
against gnome/evolution/mono, which now are more and more integrated as
windows and internet exploder....

hmmm.... you've already switched to it.... the configuration in the profile
is not much changed and the packages you're using are udated.... this is the
best thing on gentoo: it isn't bonded anymore to versioning as other
distributions.... i've started with 2007.0 and now i'm using a very tainted
gentoo, with sabayon packages, i've updated the baselayout and  with a lot
of tilde packages and with paludis instead of portage and my system is
stable and i haven't experienced any great issue....  if you look at the two
profiles you'll see that there are 2 use flags changed and you probably have
already enabled the 2 use flags that are enabled by default.... these are
the changes between the 2007.0 and 2006.1....
