I see. Then the easiest is may be to just move ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard out of the way. This is where gnome stores the keyboard configuration. So if it is absent, I would guess that gnome will use the settings from X. I never tried it, so I'm not sure if it works. Also, you should maybe shutdown gconf before you do this (gconftool-2 --shutdown). Let me know if it worked.
