Currently, the way gtkdfb performs input handling is a bit buggy/incomplete, and this results, as you mentioned, in the lack of some symbols with some keymaps. This issue is quite annoiyng for debian users who use "special" keymaps [1] and [2] and i'd really like to see it fixed, but ATM i lack the time to investigate into it. In the case you can provide the needed patches against gtk+ head, i can commit them into Gnome's SVN.
