Fix for german keymaps in woody on the ibook2
The debian keymaps for X are broken for german ibooks. However, there is a
quick and dirty fix which I attach. I do not know if US keymaps break with
this fix, but could _please_ someone integrate this in some way into
woody? (The problem is that the Apple key generates a <LWIN> key and this
is somehow needed to access special characters like {}[]@~.)
Here is the patch, against XFree86 4.0.1-11 package. Maybe this should be
fixed in symbols/macintosh/de but I do not have an overview of the whole
xkb-mess.
Greetings, Lukas
