It looks like the setting of keyboards layouts in xorg.conf doesn't work anymore, or I'm missing something? [...] Is it a bug of a "feature" of the new X?
It's a feature since Xorg 1.5.X, it's called Xorg Input Hotplugging.Now your keyboard layout settings should be in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi (once you put it there).
