when I try to use Xnest with setxkbmap to force a Germany keyboard layout, I get the error
Error loading new keyboard description
The complete command I am using is
ssh -X -C -l $USER $HOST -n "Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 1440x850 -once -query localhost & setxkbmap -layout de"
I also tried with "setxkbmap de" in the end, but no difference.
A shot in the dark but, maybe try the "USING WITH xkbcomp" section of setxkbmap's man page? Or use strace to try to see what files he tries/fails to access...
