Right.

I am currently trying to guess your settings in order to reproduce your
problem.  If your initial settings in XF86Config-4 were causing trouble,
these error messages would be logged into /var/log/XFree86.0.log
Since they are stored in /var/log/gdm/:0.log this means that:
 a. An application modified your settings
 b. You are certainly using GNOME ;)

Can you please send the output of the three following commands?
  xkbcomp -o - :0 | grep xkb_symbols
  xprop -root | grep XKB
  gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
