I didn't get it per E-Mail, thanks for the resend.

*dancing* That was the solution, at least it leads me to the solution /
workaround:
meissner@emc2:~$ setxkbmap fr_new
Error loading new keyboard description
meissner@emc2:~$ setxkbmap de_new
Error loading new keyboard description
meissner@emc2:~$ man setxkbmap
meissner@emc2:~$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc/pc(pc105)+pc/de(nodeadkeys)+ctrl(nocaps)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
meissner@emc2:~$ setxkbmap de
meissner@emc2:~$ ~ (with space after)
meissner@emc2:~$ setxkbmap "de(nodeadkeys)"
meissner@emc2:~$ ~ *g*
Many thanks to all who have helped me, this workaround is much better than
"copy&paste" or writing out the path! Now I hope that the real bug will be
found, if I can do anything for it just ask!
