I looked into this problem and found out that XFree86 3.3.3 introduced a
bug in their XmbLookupText function. I found the cause of the problem
and sent a bug report along with patch to XFree86. We'll see if it will
have any effect :)

In the meantime, you could put the following patch in your
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86/patches directory and recompile XFree86 port.
This patch works perfectly for me.

 };

It would be also perfect if someone with appropriate rights will commit
this patch into FreeBSD ports repository until official patch will
appear from XFree86.

Hope, this will help.
