Keyboard layout changes to "us" after reboot or ctrl+alt+F1 in Gnome

I use the evdev driver, and have an empty xorg.conf, and I've set the keyboard layout to Norwegian (no) in /etc/hal/fdi/polic/10-keymap.fdi

I tried to use fluxbox and there it works without problems. I've tried to set the layout in the Gnome settings to Norwegian, and it works for a session, but switches back to US after reboot.

I've tried to autostart "setxkbmap no" after Gnome has started, and that works, but the keyboard reverts back to US every time I switch to terminal mode (ctrl+alt+F1) and back, something I do quite often.

It seems to be a Gnome bug, but I've searched and nobody seems to have the same problem (or they are happy to just go back to the old keyboard driver).

Has anyone else had this problem, and maybe found a solution to it?
