libxklavier is far more suited to the freedesktop.org platform release than
being tied to a GNOME release - it's in the list merely because it's a
significant dependency that needed to be discussed.

Sergey -> tracking this release very closely with libxklavier, and nudging
the Sun guys (in particular, because they are our only non-XFree86-using
highly-involved distributor) about compatibility will help you out hugely in
the coming months, because if libxklavier makes it into the freedesktop.org
platform list, you might end up with harsher API/ABI compat regulations than
even the GNOME Developer Platform. :-)
