Bug#251110: : XklConfigActivate is deadly

[Petr Vandrovec]

Hi,
  building shared library containing function XklConfigActivate() below
fixes crash (though you cannot expect gnome-settings-daemon to be able
to manage keyboard then). When this function is issued, X server and
client's xlib gets desynchronized, and further gnome-settings-daemon
operations are all rejected and/or misinterpreted by X server, until 
(on my system) libXft attempts to allocate 1+2 GB of memory, and fails
on second allocation...

  It looks like that error message is right, and Xkl* interface in XF4.3.0
is a bit iffy.

  With XklConfigActivate call blocked everything works flawlessly (modulo
multiload applet still asking for libgtop-2.0.so.2, but it is another
story, and simple symlink solves that one..., and missing flags for
gswitchit applet).

					Best regards,
						Petr Vandrovec
