Workaround is to remove all keyboard related settings from gconf:
1) logout, login in text console
2) kill -1 -1, wait a moment and then kill -3 -1
3) go to .gconf directory and remove apps/gswitchit directory, remove desktop/peripherals/keyboard as well
4) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
5) login in gdm
6) setup you keyboard preferences again

For some people this can work, others may need to:

7) logout, go to text console
8) restart gdm again: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

This fixed the problem for me. Personally, I suspect that the real
problem is the apps/gswitchit directory only and it should be removed
from gconf during upgrade.
