Same here, on a desktop PC, standard keyboard.
Except I didn't know about setxkbmap, so I couldn't access my truecrypt partition, 'cause I couldn't type the characters used in the password! 
!@#$%^&*()_+, yeah!
Thanks, man!
Hope someone knows a cleaner fix to this, though.
(And no, xfce4-keyboard-settings changes nothing)

Mine doesn't so I added this line to openbox' autostart.sh.
BTW, is there some other place to put it, so it would be session-independent ?
