Bug Description

In order to reproduce it, build
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/kbdraw/ and run test/kbdraw application. This bug causes layout preview (in gnome-keyboard-properties) failure.

The simplest application to demonstrate would have 3 lines: get the GTK display, XkbQueryExtension, XkbGetKeyboard

This bug also causes python-virtkey to segfault.

This is related to #188115 however new code has been added to the function that detects the failure and causes the whole data structure to be unallocated.

Actually I was wrong looking at the diff. I have no idea why this has only just started happening.

Hi tortoise,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISOs are available from cdimage.ubuntu.com)

If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Thanks in advance.

The output of lspci -vvnn would also be worth having.
