Oh, that's so awesome. The XKBleds.c and XKBSetGeom.c patches are
obviously correct, and I'll commit them shortly.

However, the patches to XKBGeom.c aren't quite correct: they unlock
before calling _XkbReadGetGeometryReply, which needs the lock held
because it eventually calls _XRead. I'll put together a correct fix and
commit that this evening too.

Donnie, thanks so much for putting this code in Gentoo where smart
people find and fix bugs for us. :-)

If anyone's interested in using `sparse` annotations to find more of
these locking bugs at compile time, we have an expert or two on that
around here and it'd be really useful...
