I have tried everything I know, to get it to find this file. I have put it in the directories mentioned above, and have also set the env variable $XKEYSYMDB using the command line: set XKEYSYMDB=(/usr/lib/X11), as well as XKEYSYMDB=(/usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB), most of which produce the same output in the "set" list. Everytime, I get the same result: "...unknown keysyms," and variations. There is also a message produced by Navigator, displayed before the "unknown keysyms" saying that "it appears that $XKEYSYMDB is not set", or something to that affect.
