The command below displays either (a) or (b):
  $ setxkbmap -model jp106 -layout jp -option -option compose:menu -print
  xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"       };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
 (a)    xkb_symbols   { include "pc/pc(pc102)+pc/jp(latin)+pc/jp:2+compose(menu)" };
 (b)    xkb_symbols   { include "jp+compose(menu)"       };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(jp106)"     };
  };
If (a) is displayed, this means that a program redefines your keyboard
layout after X has been launched.

If (b) is displayed, check that 
  1. setxkbmap is /usr/bin/X11/setxkbmap.
  2. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb is a symlink to /etc/X11/xkb
If both are right, please send me an archive with your whole /etc/X11/xkb
directory.
