Hi Branden,
I wrote:
One problem with latest XKB bugreports (changes in X 4.3) is that we
do not know if xlibs has to be blamed, or if other apps are modifying
XKB settings. In order to reproduce the reported bugs, I slightly
hacked setxkbmap.c to ignore current server settings. If a -noserver
command-line flag is added (patch attached), we could ask submitters
to run a setxkbmap command and determine if this bug belongs to xlibs.
and you requested a bugreport in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x-0404/msg00796.html
I would like to read your comments before patching documentation ;)
