t seems everyone has this problem - apart from those who use in any case
the U.S. 104 key keyboard.

It is hardwired into the source of xnest.

I am wondering how one can fool the program - such as creating a symlink
to the keyboard we are using and naming it as if it were the U.S.
keyboard.

I have also played around with the keyboard extensions option (-kb +kb)
and it seems to ignore it.

With regard to the symlink I find it so difficult to understand how X
organises and references the keyboard layouts I would be most grateful
if anyone could develop this idea of providing a falsely named symlink.

That, together with the security problem - xnest has to run with the
option -ac before you can use the nested server - are the only hold-ups
I've met so far in using xnest.

At the moment I now run two servers: one on :0 and one on :1 - not the
best solution but better than nothing.
