4 Are you sure it's due to upgrading Xorg and not Gnome?

11 When using almost exactly your arrangement it works fine here.

13 $ setxkbmap -print
14 xkb_keymap {
15 xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
16 xkb_types { include "complete" };
17 xkb_compat { include "complete+lednum(group_lock)" };
18 xkb_symbols { include
19 "pc(pc104)+us(basic)+us(intl):2+ch(fr):3+group(ctrls_toggle)+level3
20 (win_switch)+ctrl(nocaps)+compose(menu)+eurosign(e)" };
21 xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
22 };

24 If it's not the failing Gnome daemon, maybe it is Gnome interfering
25 in some other way with the keyboard? Here I had to switch off all
26 things in KDE's Control Center > Regional > Keyboard Layout to make
27 the settings in xorg.conf work.
