xkbcomp.exe segfaults

[Alexander Skwar <lists dot ASkwar at email-server dot info>]

Hi!

Yesterday, I switched my PC from using the "Novell" Novell client on Windows 
XP to the Novell client provided by Microsoft.  Since then, when I start
XWin, xkbcomp.exe segfaults.  Here's an excerpt from strace.exe:

I've installed the XF86Config-4 from gotti.

When I start xkbcomp.exe with no parameters, it doesn't segfault.

Well, how is xkbcomp.exe called, so that it segfault?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
