It is stored in the gnome configuration, a.k.a. gconf. This behaves a
little bit like the windows registry - but better, obviously!. (This in
turn is backed by some files - don't know/care where).
You can examine the data by firing up gconf-editor (Applications->System
Tools->Configuration Editor) and navigating to the /desktop/gnome/ tree.
Some interesting keys:
- /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard
- /desktop/gnome/interface/cursor_blink
and lots more. It's probably documented somewhere...
Oh ! Great ! I see !. The "register" is made using XML files !!!

Do you mean the keyboard mapping? i.e. the table that maps a key (or
combination of keys) to a character?
I mean the current layout. If I was using an english layout and I switched to a russian one, where is the statement that controls the current one and says to the system: "now is not english, but russian !". You know ?
