Subject:   X complains "Couldn't load XKB..." if can't modify /var/tmp
Message-ID:  <20020513053302.GA379@moo.holy.cow>

X would produce error message...

  Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

...(and, xset would dump core w/ segfault error) if permissions of
/var/tmp are, in one case, 0755.

the "couldn't load XKB..." error goes away (and xset works normally)
if permissions of /var/tmp are set to 1777.

does X need to create a temporary file in /var/tmp before starting
(as there was no X related file in /var/tmp but that directory's
modified time was same as that of /var/log/XFree86.0.log)?
