Hmm, trying of those keybord types is less fun. I started with 104
keys (because a "normal" keyboard (tm) has 102 and than there are
two keys more ...) but then X failed to start. So I switched back to 102.

The system was happy and it worked. But you might know the situation
if you are attempting to paste something and didn't pressed both keys
at exactly the same time. Than you end with a new X-buffer and in this
cases your original text vanished anywhere (perhaps a new case for a
Murphy law).
