I'd agree there's definitely some wonky donkey here (and not related
solely to ion3 or xephyr). After installation of 2.3.0 on 10.5.4 I
couldn't start X11 (server ok/xterm not?) it just flashed occasionally
in the Dock, but no xterm. I did a logout/in cycle, no joy, reboot,
no joy. Noticed the following a few times in the console.
Popen: `"/usr/X11/bin/xkbcomp" -w 1 "-R/usr/X11/share/X11/xkb" -xkm
"-" -em1 "The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:" -emp "> " -
eml "Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server" "/var/tmp/
server-0.xkm"', fp = 0xa02b05a0
I switched the keyboard layout (Apple International System Pref) back
to the standard Apple "British" and an xterm appeared...
My X11 setup:
All 3 checkboxes are ticked in the "Input" section of X11 Preferences.
About X11 reports: XQuartz 2.3.0 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple5)
Usually I use the rsrc file available here, http://www.gyford.com/phil/writing/2005/11/20/using_a_british.php
although initially I was using a slightly modified version, which
may have errors, so is now disabled. I'm still using 2.3.0 and back
using the rsrc above at the moment and I've had no troubles in the
past few days, but I have noticed that I can't change layouts on the
fly in X11 anymore.

I've installed 2.3.0 and everything works fine in the initial xterm
window; however, in ion3 under xephyr, the keyboard mapping is
complete gibberish. I've reverted 2.2.3.
