I have no idea where they would have gone, could you give us the output of:

$ ls /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/

all these files have a 444 permission, and they all belong to root.root
first i thought that the permissons and the ownership was the case, but then i came up with a question: why would I be able to see my keyboard layouts even if i am root?
