Xkb is an extension. On Tiger, it was disabled by default, and you had to
mangle the X11.app in order to load it. I thought the fact that it was now
loaded by default meant that it would work, but I guess not. :)

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment to fix a
travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found its way onto un*x
systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a software monopolist, they survive
as soldiers of fortune. If you share their vision, if you know you can help,
and if you can connect to internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
