And if you had a look at the upstream bug you'd see that the patch doesn't work. It needs to get upstream first anyway.
-------------------------------
1) It's just one (incomplete) report that it doesn't. I'll try the patch myself soon.
2) The previous patch wasn't in upstream either, yet Ubuntu maintainers did absolutely right to accept it IMO.
3) AFAIK Xorg people rejected this change outright (that is? after some prolonged explanaitons what the actual problem was - shows that they just don't have the issue thus don't care too much).
3) Yet people shouldn't be held hostage because the proposed behavior breaks the XKB spec - without (? AFAIK) a single confirmed case of it breaking any real world X client.
