Description Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2010-03-18 11:17:39 UTC 
XQuartz sets up the keymap dynamically in the server... as such, there's no way for Xephyr nor Xnest to figure out keymappings just through the data in xkeyboard-config.  This may eventually be true for other systems as well.  Xephyr and Xnest should not need to do anything "special" as far as keymapping.  They should just be pass-through.

This has resulted in the following down-stream report:

Hey Jamey, we were talking about this at XDC.  Did you make any headway?
Comment 2 Jamey Sharp 2011-10-03 15:18:17 UTC 
I haven't looked at it since we discussed the need, no. Frankly, I'm afraid to poke around in XKB. :-)
