well, IMO xkbset itself is more for developers than users too, so I don't worry too much about the man page being incomplete :) it'll get fixed up over time, I guess. > Note that there are a few of the XKB features which I didn't > understand.

We can keep the perl code as a historical feature but I guess the C code will become the primary source over time.
