Are you sure it's due to upgrading Xorg and not Gnome?

When using almost exactly your arrangement it works fine here. $ setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete+lednum(group_lock)" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc104)+us(basic)+us(intl):2+ch(fr):3+group(ctrls_toggle)+level3 (win_switch)+ctrl(nocaps)+compose(menu)+eurosign(e)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; If it's not the failing Gnome daemon, maybe it is Gnome interfering in some other way with the keyboard?
