[FreeNX-kNX] Keyboard Mappings Continued

[Aidan Marks]

I have ${client:+client=$client,} present on my gentoo server but key
maps are still broken.

in fact, key maps (arrow keys etc) have been broken for me for a long
time.  I'm currently on evdev/xorg-server 1.8.0 on both client and server.

it did work a couple of years ago, probably pre evdev.
