The XKeysymDB file has been removed upstream since libX11 1.3.6, see [1]
The data which would have been read from it is now built into libX11.
The FAQ has some references to XKeysymDB which are confusing given
it's omission from 1.4.4-1, and had me wondering is the Xterm input
issues I was seeing were related to the lack of this file.
If XKeysymDB is missing by design, then probably the FAQ should note
this where it talks about XKeysymDB
Yes, the FAQ probably needs some updating. It's still possible to set the
XKEYSYMDB environment variable, although this is probably of extremely limited
usefulness.
