Additional NULL (??) layout group with evdev+hal

[Thomas Fritzsche]

Hello Peter,

after upgrading to xserver 1.5.2 using the new evdev + hal I'm observing
that I receive an additional layout group.
The gnome keyboard indicator is showing this as "??" and using the
libxklavier test program I get:

[1227322878,150,xklavier.c:xkl_engine_constructor/] Actual backend: XKB
[1227322878,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] found 3 groups
[1227322878,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] Group 2 has name
[Germany]
[1227322878,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] Group 1 has name
[Japan]
[1227322878,200,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_load_all_info/] Group 0 has name [-]

The German and Japanese Layout-Group is in my setup, but the system added an
additional Group 0 with name "-"??
I already read though your blog (http://who-t.blogspot.com/), but could not
find anything explaining such a odd behaviour.

I added a lot of description and logfiles to a bug report at this link:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/283128

I'm not using Autologin (that was causing trouble in other case). There are
a lot of devices coming up with evdev/hal, but all have "de,jp" assigned
(lshal).
What could causing such a problem? What can I do to avoid this problem?

Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Thomas
