Bug#364932: Workaround not work for me

I think the problem is here.

If I move this directories to the home root, I get the same errors in
logs/standard error but my keyboard don't work correctly : the Shift
and Alt Gr does nothing. In fact it work like if put "foo" or "xfree"
instead of "xorg" for XkbRules.

Thank for your intention, I hope this help anybody else.
BTW, since X11R6to7 upgrade I meet anothers errors, I don't know if
there's a link with this problem :
- the serrated roller of the mouse don't work correctly for copy/paste,
as I reported higher ;
- if I run a QT application (k3b, konqueror, kmail...) I get this error
"k3b: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol:
XkbSetPerClientControls" ;
- if I run mplayer (don't work at all) or xine (only in fullscreen) I ge
: "mplayer: symbol lookup error: mplayer: undefined symbol:
DPMSQueryExtension"
Sounds like things are pretty broken... And as I need soon my machine
with xfree and my keyboard, I think I will purge and reinstall all
packages about X. But it's not a good new :(
Best regards,
