Severity: important
I get the errors shown below when starting the X server. One result is
that the <alt gr> key does not work, making keys like |\~ not to work,
very annoying. For 4.2.x versions the same XF86config-4 file worked
fine.
Error screen in Gnome:

Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.

You are using XFree 4.3.0.
There are known problems with complex XKB configurations.
Try using simpler configuration or taking more fresh version of XFree
software.
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB

Thanks for following up!
I'm glad to hear the problem has been resolved.

Well, I'm guessing here, but I think the purpose of the splash screen is
to stay up until the relevant components have been launched. If you've
upgraded or added components, or if the system is busy, it might take
longer to start.
I'm afraid I don't have a really good answer, but I'm reasonably
confident the problem isn't X-related. You might try the debian-user
mailing list.
Closing this report.
