 when starting from display manager

I have already fixed it setting up correctly kde keyboard preferences
(105keys keyboard) and XFree Config. I think after a lot of testing
some clients were changing keyboard (kde control panel) in my sessions
and I am not sure if some xfree86 upgrade had something to do too, but
now It works for me with no hacking, just configuring X and kde. :-)

Thanks for all,
txemi.

This is a duplicate of many other bugs.

A workaround for the problem is documented in the logs of most or all of
them.

The bug is in xlibs (XKB data), not the XFree86 X server or its keyboard
driver.

We expect the bug to be fixed in the next release.
