I set up Norwegian (I've tried with danish as well), and in the

gnome starts, I get US keyboard.

Here XFree86.log reported something about not being able to load the XKB
map. Pasting that exact line in Google gave me the following explanation:

Bugged keyboard alias file in xlibs-data (usually after an xlibs upgrade).

I had a clean installation of sid and later a clean installation of sarge. so I dont understand why xlibs-data should be corrupted

How I solved it:

dpkg -P --force-depends xbase-clients xlibs xlibs-data
rm -r /etc/X11/xkb
apt-get install xbase-clients xlibs xlibs-data

Now everything works as before and, actually, even better:  Gswitchit
(a.k.a. GNOME Keyboard Preferences capplet) finally works.

installing the packages from http://people.debian.org/~joss/packages/ solved the problem.

Which keyboard layout are you using ?
