My bad, it's upstream in xkeyboard-config, not the xserver.

So, if I rebuild the xorg xkeyboard-config/ module from git, should it remove the security problem?

I just reported a similare bug found in Ubuntu (only tested Ubuntu 11.10). This one is probably related to LightDM. I wount disclose it untill some one has had time to find out where it steams from though.
