Comment 8 for bug 553087

Something weird. When I enter System->Preferences->Keyboard after the crash, the
keyboard-layout is set to Belgium (as I set before I started the installation). However the keyboard is not set to that layout (instead the guessed layout is being used). I have to add the proper layout (belgium) and to remove the former selected layout (belgium).

If I retry the installation (forward, forward, ...) en press the + key as the first key, ubiquity crashes immediately --- no entries added in /var/log/ ... ?? --- see syslog below
