I got it working perfectly after some heavy xkb cofig file hacking. Mail me 
off the list if you want the keymaps I made, but beware, this involves 
editing several files, and I'm not completely sure whether my modifications 
will work with any other XFree version than 4.3 and any other Keyboard layout 
than German.
