I have a similar problem with the PL layout. Also kcontrol's Regional Settings 
module lists just a few layouts instead of those all listed previously. 
Intereting though that "setxkbmap pl" after starting the server sets the 
correct layout. Beneath is a small log of running xorg (Xorg.0.log doesn't 
show anything interesting)
