Whoops! Latest bulletin!
It turned out that I had incorporated Carlos Martinez Txakartegi's
suggestion and that was what actually solved the problem. It was to simply
export an environmental variable for the XKeysymDB file. I put this
variable in my ~/.bash_profile and sourced it and all was well. It turned
out I did not need the above soft link.
Here is the solution by Carlos:
export XKEYSYMDB="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB"
Gracias,
Victor
