I didn't get it per E-Mail, thanks for the resend.

*dancing* That was the solution, at least it leads me to the solution /
workaround:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap fr_new
Error loading new keyboard description
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap de_new
Error loading new keyboard description
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ man setxkbmap
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc/pc(pc105)+pc/de(nodeadkeys)+ctrl(nocaps)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap de
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ~ (with space after)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap "de(nodeadkeys)"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ~ *g*
Many thanks to all who have helped me, this workaround is much better than
"copy&paste" or writing out the path! Now I hope that the real bug will be
found, if I can do anything for it just ask!
