This appears to be a duplicate of BUG 606, though that bug report is related to a previous version of xorg. Under Gnome within the Keyboard Preferences application under the tab Layouts I have tried to add the japanese layout to my "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC" keyboard model additionally to the default language setting, but not making japanese the default. Immediately after this an error message pops up. This message is repeated each time the Keyboard preferences application is launched, and also when the XServer is started. The error message is shown below.
