Bug#646987: /usr/bin/xinit: xinit fails with xkbcomp could not be invoked

["Brenda J. Butler" <bjb@sourcerer.ca>]

Coming back to this - I see that the command line will be printed out
if a debug flag is set - how do I set it?

in ddxList.c on lines 206-207:

        if (xkbDebugFlags)
            DebugF("[xkb] xkbList executes: %s\n",buf);

How can I set xbkDebugFlags?  I'd like to try the exact invocation
at the command line to see what happens.
