Ubuntu control panel, regional and accessibility, keyboard layout?

Well, I'm using the mint front end to control panel, but no that would
not work. Had to add the UK layout but then couldn't select it. sudo
gnome-keyboard-settings allowed me to add and select so obviously a
permissions thing. Next start of X it complained that X said 'us' and
gnome said 'gb'. ctrl-alt-F1, sudo nano xorg.conf, sudo shutdown -r now
and we're back to being British.

Odd. Not sure how I borked it but I've learned how to fix it!
