Further testing shows that:

 - a failsafe terminal session starts OK with the xorg.conf file
   present, as do "twm" and "safwish" sessions
 - "setxkbmap -model microsoft -layout ca -option ''" crashes the
   server, too, and also under a failsafe session
 - a "failsafe GNOME" session also crashes the server

The Gnome crash thus probably happens when Gnome tries to compare the
current xkb config with the last known one.
