I used the get an error in a message box whenever I tried to use the Iranian
layout and it caused various problems from not being able to switch layouts
with shortcut keys, to an unavailable Farsi layout and finally a
non-functioning keyboard.
After removing the "include" semicolons in "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ir" as
reported above, and restarting my X session everything worked fine again.
attached is the "ir" symbols file without the syntax errors if you are as lazy
as me.
