First the commands, as they were run previously here, and its latest
output here, to clarify the issue:
$ xkbcomp -o - :0 | grep xkb_symbols
xkb_symbols "macintosh/us(extended)+macintosh/de(nodeadkeys)" {
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xfree86", "macintosh", "de", "nodeadkeys", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "macintosh", "de", "nodeadkeys", ""
:$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
layouts = [de nodeadkeys]
model = macintosh
overrideSettings = false
options = []
And /var/log/gdm/:0.log does not show the "Type "TWO_LEVEL" has 2
levels, but [ ... ]" warning any more.
This is what I changed before:
In Gnome:
Opening
Applications ---> System Tools ---> Configuration Editor
Changed in
desktop --> gnome --> peripherals --> keyboard --> xkb
this entry
model acpi
to that one
model macintosh
Seems we can close this issue. If no one minds ... :)

I hope you're right.
But IIRC I had ugly problems here sometimes related to the keyboard,
whose details I can't remember exactly right now. But I think the
keyboard at times only printed capitals ... I think this happened on
console *and* xterm-like apps not quite sure. I'll wait and see
whether this issue is history now
Anyway: Thanks, Denis, for your help to solve this issue. And to
everyone else contributing to this thread. It definitely helped, as it
seems ... :)
Best Regards
Wolfgang

Right, X is launched and reads settings from /etc/X11/XF86Config-4,
but these settings are overridden afterwards.

Never see this backup thing before, quite nice. It clearly shows
that your settings have been altered from
XkbModel macintosh
XkbLayout de
XkbVariant nodeadkeys
(which come from your XF86Config-4) to
XkbModel acpi
XkbLayout de
XkbVariant nodeadkeys
These settings are indeed those reported by xprop above.

And here is the culprit, these are GNOME settings.
If you want, you can change these settings with gconftool-2 (no idea
how) or gnome-keyboard-properties from the gnome-capplets package.
I am pretty sure that these warnings are harmless, but am still
unable to reproduce them :(

No need to guess: Please let me know what you need to know about my
settings here ...

I am currently trying to guess your settings in order to reproduce your problem. If your initial settings in XF86Config-4 were causing trouble, these error messages would be logged into /var/log/XFree86.0.log Since they are stored in /var/log/gdm/:0.log this means that: a.

You are certainly using GNOME ;) Can you please send the output of the three following commands? xkbcomp -o - :0 | grep xkb_symbols xprop -root | grep XKB gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb Denis

[ ... ]
No. Or at least that's what I'm hoping for ... :)
And here I assume that with "remote X server" you mean an X server that
is not installed on the Powerbook itself.
But I remember having had connected the Powerbook to an x86 machine, via
nfs and a router, for file sharing purposes ... some months ago ...
BTW:
Just saw this here:

This is rather strange, is your PowerBook connected to a remote X
server? Normally this last line should look like:
xkb_symbols "macintosh/us(extended)+macintosh/de(nodeadkeys)" {
