Yes I always use startx and run stuff via .xinitrc. I'm currently using
KDE 3.5 and it has a couple of keyboard-related options which could
affect the keymap, both under "Regional and Accesibility": "keyboard
layouts" and "Xkb Options". I have both of these disabled which means
KDE does not touch the keymap.
Here is the output of the two commands:
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc102)+us" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc102)" };
};
$ setxkbmap -print | xkbcomp - :0
syntax error: line 1 of pc
last scanned symbol is: -VMode
Error: Error interpreting include file "pc"
Exiting
Abandoning symbols file "(null)"
Error: success in unknown
Couldn't write keyboard description to :0
