#1 worked for me but I had to modify some of the options to use two dashes:

gconftool –-set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts –-type List –-list-type String [aa]

The second example worked for me just fine. Thank you very much.

Thankyou so much, this issue is found so much around the net on various distros of Linux, I’m surprised it hasnt been resolved yet

The first one failed for me (Unknown option -set) but the second one worked like a charm. Thanks!

First solution did nothing. No joy.

The second solution was the key. Thanks!
