Theoretically, you can put the XKeysymDB file anywhere and just set $XKEYSYMDB to its location, but I seem to recall that this didn't work for me.

This is, of course, because it can't find the XKeysymDB file. When #1 is fixed, #2 will quitely go away. :) Or, you can just get used to using the mouse to select the mistyped character and replacing it. :) -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
