Daniel, thanks for the quick reply!
I got very excited when I saw how simple of a fix this could be. Sadly
I don't think this is the case (I wouldn't be surprised if I was still
wrong, however).  I tried setxkbmap -model evdev, as you suggested,
and it didn't fix the problem. When I upgraded evdev, GNOME said that
the model of keyboard GNOME was using (pc105) and the model X was
using (evdev) were different and asked which I wanted to use. I
selected the X model. The GNOME Keyboard Preferences window lists
"Evdev-managed keyboard" as the keyboard model. Is there any other way
I can check which model is being used?
