The point was the gnome keycode issue which keeps reappearing.
Setting the keymap to evdev by the DDX initially means gnome picks up the
right keymap and doesn't give us pretty screenshots each time we hit "up".
And we need the DDX to set it, because that's the only entity that knows
whether we will have evdev lateron (AEI is on) or will stick to kbd (AEI is
off).
