I have the following configuration:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc104"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us,ua,ru"
        Option      "XkbVariant" ",winkeys,winkeys"
        Option      "XkbOptions"
"grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,eurosign:5,altwin:super_win,numpad:microsoft"
EndSection

It still works exactly as before in both GDM and Gnome.
So I guess xorg.conf overrides hal config, and not the reverse as
stated in .install.
