Bug#345436: Can't switch virtual consoles with Ctrl+Alt+Function keys when XkbRules is set to 'base'
While investigating #336791 [0] I found that if I have XkbRules set to
'base', instead of the default 'xorg' [1], The Ctrl+Alt+Function key
chord no longer switches between virtual consoles. Instead it is passed
through to my X clients; for example, Ctrl+Alt+F1 makes xterm beep and
print the 'P' character.
I am not experiencing the other symptoms mentioned by the reporter (?
and / key, AltGr key not working).

[1] As recommended by "GNOME and XKB: looking at the issues"
<http://gswitchit.sourceforge.net/gnome_xkb_tsh.pdf>; is using 'base'
sound advice, or should libxklavier be fixed to work with the 'xorg'
setting?
