Hi Bengt,

The XKB database and associated tools is the de facto standard for
handling keyboard layouts; it does a great job!  It originated in X11
but that=E2=80=99s about the only relation it has with X11.

Anyway, please let=E2=80=99s try to keep issues at Debbugs and development
discussions focused otherwise it=E2=80=99s easy to all get lost in open-end=
ed
discussions while making very little actual progress.  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
