I have it, but that seems not to be related to my problems.

heimdall at baldur ~> ll /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-10-01 15:03 /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled \
                                           -> /var/lib/xkb/

With xkeyboard-config-1.1 the Windows-Key didn't work at all, there were
no Umlauts and AltGr wasn't available, too (with a "de" layout, "dvorak"
variant).

Bye,
Tassilo
