[Ltib] [Patch] Fix XKB error

[Rogério de Souza Moraes]

Hi Stuart,

I saw this package but I did not see that he installs xkbcomp. I tried
to test him and I realised that he requires libXaw, but it isn't
specified in packages.lkc. The patch to fix this is attached.

The version of xkbcomp that is in xkb-utils doesn't work with this
xorg-server. When the X comes up, I get the errors that are inside the
log file (x.log) that is attached here. If I execute some program that
use gtk libs, it crashes. I need to do more tests to see why it did
not work.

I agree that install these programs using the package
xorg-x11-xkb-utils is the best way to do this. So later we may find an
way to update this.

Regards

Rogerio
