"XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp" error

[XJDHDR]

Good day Samy

Sorry for the late reply but I think I've managed to get things working 
here. In my case, I had to install "xserver-xorg-input-mouse" and 
"xserver-xorg-input-kbd" to get xpra working.
I installed Xpra from the Xpra repository.

Thank you for the help.

Kind regards
