"Try creating a xmodmap first:

sudo xmodmap -pke > .xmodmaprc

After that, ssh -X gconf-editor

Navigate to:

Desktop > Gnome > Peripherals > Keyboard

Select ""layout"" and then add ""us"".

Restart X11

... This is half me fooling around, and the other half blatantly stolen from

I'm not sure if the .xmodmaprc needs to be created, but hey.. the above steps worked for me!
