Well, if I do a 

        setxkbmap -rules xorg -model macintosh_old -layout "fr" -option ""

the window manager dies (but not X) - tested with KDE/Kwin and FVWM.
If I change to macintosh_old in xorg.conf, I have the weirdest keymap even
seen. ;-) I'd like to show you but with this mapping I can't even do a
copy/paste (the only thing I remember is that de @ key gives a m).

It's an ibook:

processor       : 0
cpu             : 7447A, altivec supported
clock           : 599.999000MHz

platform        : PowerMac
machine         : PowerBook6,5
motherboard     : PowerBook6,5 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh

pmac flags      : 0000001b

I use the macintosh layout because I have an apple usb keyboard attached and
I want the keypad enter to be an enter key.
