This is probably because GNOME uses its own keyboard setting initiated
from XKB setting (the one presents in your /etc/X11/XF86Config*) and for
later runs it _overrides_ the XKB setting. Could you try to configure
your azerty keyboard via 'gnome-keyboard-properties' (you can also
access it through Applications-Desktop Prefences->Keyboard)? If you
don't want such a behaviour from GNOME, you may also invoke the
following command:
gconftool-2 --type bool --set \
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/overrideSettings false
P.S. We should reassing this bug to somewhere else related with GNOME
(or perhaps we may prefer it to close), if my explanations are correct
for the problem.
