All the people who upgraded to X.org 7.2 here complains about keyboard
bugs, when you define multiple keyboard layouts in the server. Say, if
you do
Option "XkbLayout" "us,cz"
you no longer can switch to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F#), and Alt+Tab breaks
in Xfce4 (but works in GNOME; combination of left Alt with anything,
really).
Someone reported that downgrading xkeyboard-config to 0.8 (never been in
ports) fixes this. I haven't done any digging into this yet myself.

It's now using GIFs instead of JPEGs. This is similar to replacing
triangular wheels with round ones.
