kbd layout applet causes error on VM start

I get the following error with the new keyboard setting applet:

Error activating XKB configuration.
There can be various reasons for that.

If you report this situation as a bug, include the results of
  xprop -root | grep XKB
  gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard model
  gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts
  gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard options

Ah, there is '\n' in layout name...

You must set layout again to fix your settings.
