If kdm crashes reproducibly then this should be investigated, and fixed if it's a bug in the X libraries or server. Newer X libs (or newer X server) shouldn't break older software. Only if it's a kdm bug fixed in sid does it sort of make sense to close this. Pablo, can you rebuild libx11 without optimisation and send a full backtrace? Line 320 of src/xkb/XKBBind.c is: preserve= type->preserve[i].mask; so knowing what *type looks like would be nice.
