Only Xorg has setuid bit (bug 273161), so can write in root-owned directori=
es.

Before:

  $ truss Xwayland :9 |& fgrep /var/lib/xkb
  access("/var/lib/xkb/",X_OK|W_OK)                ERR#13 'Permission denie=
d'
  access("/var/lib/xkb/",X_OK|W_OK)                ERR#13 'Permission denie=
d'
  access("/var/lib/xkb/",X_OK|W_OK)                ERR#13 'Permission denie=
d'
  access("/var/lib/xkb/",X_OK|W_OK)                ERR#13 'Permission denie=
d'

After:

  $ truss Xwayland :9 |& fgrep /var/lib/xkb
  access("/var/lib/xkb/",X_OK|W_OK)                =3D 0 (0x0)
  access("/var/lib/xkb/",X_OK|W_OK)                =3D 0 (0x0)
