Okay..sorry for spamming the list, but xkeyboard-config was the
culprit. I didn't find it because this also was not logged. There is a
problem however. xkeyboard-config creates this file
$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/xkb/compiled. It is a symlink to /var/lib/xkb,
which does not exist. I moved the xorg-server version of this directory
out of the way and re-installed xkeyboard-config to find that it pointed
nowhere. So, only file there is now README.compiled which contains this:
==============
The X server uses this directory to store the compiled version of the
current keymap and/or any scratch keymaps used by clients. The X server
or some other tool might destroy or replace the files in this directory,
so it is not a safe place to store compiled keymaps for long periods of
time. The default keymap for any server is usually stored in:
X<num>-default.xkm
where <num> is the display number of the server in question, which makes
it possible for several servers *on the same host* to share the same
directory.
Unless the X server is modified, sharing this directory between servers on
different hosts could cause problems.
==============
This should be fixed in both places, assuming I can reproduce the
error. Like I said, I'll smoke the whole thing and try to reproduce.
FYI, I did a complete build (everything except the 2 deprecated items).
