I don't know. 'grep -i xkb /var/log/xdm.log' gives me
(**) XKB: rules: "macintosh"
(**) XKB: model: "macintosh"
(**) XKB: layout: "de"
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
As you can see, I changed "layout" to "de", without any effect. 'xev'
gives me
KeyPress event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0x400001,
root 0x27, subw 0x0, time 1270627705, (-792,98), root:(6,120),
state 0x0, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffea, Alt_R), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""

when I press the left "alt" key and the left "command" key in
sequence. This, disappointingly, looks good to me.
Do you have any good source for reading up on XKB? At the moment, I'm
rather in the I'm-tired-and-want-it-to-just-work-without-bother phase, but
this certainly will pass ;) Anyway, I can't imagine I'm the only one with
this setup, so I think a solution *should* already exist somewhere out
there, if I could only find it.
Thanks and greetings,
Manuel
