ttmkfdir was a replacement for mkfontdir . It extracts font data from
files in the directory and allow you to create fonts.dir . It does not
manipulate the FontPath, naturally.

Xkb has nothing to do with KDE. It has nothing to do with X clients. It is
handled by the X server.
It may differ from XFree 3 to XFree 4, but it does not care which X cleint
(including window manager and desktop manager) you run .

Try http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/cache/86.html (you may have to hit "reload
on this page, as well as some others).
P.S. Thanks for all the work you have put into KDE2. I'm really looking
forward to try it at home...
