But neither kxkb nor setxkbmap is crashing.  An Xorg crash is a server
issue, libxkbfile is a client-side lib, so I reassigned the bug to the
server (which is the other component shared by both applications: both
are X11 clients :)).

The original report has part of an X log, which is different.  Anyway
this looks like a known problem, so this shouldn't be necessary now.

Looks like #461783, merging.  I'm also bumping the severity, as this
seems to affect many people unfortunately...
