Thanks ĸen, That is roughly what I found the "hard way", and it is reassuring that you, who are an expert on those matters, go along the same lines. Concerning xorg-server deps, I think the point is that an X server is unusable without fonts and a keyboard database, but the server program does not care. Maybe move those deps to runtime dependencies. BTW, Xnest builds perfectly without xcb-util-keysyms.
