Hello freebsd-x11

I'm running new xorg on 10-stable. I'm in GB, so I'm running a GB
keyboard. Here's a snippet of the log output from X:

[   709.790] (**) Option "Protocol" "standard"
[   709.790] (**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
[   709.790] (**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
[   709.790] (**) Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
[   709.790] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0"
(type: KEYBOARD, id 7)

*All* my keys work as they should apart from the UK Pound key, located
above the numeral 3 on a pc105 keyboard. It worked everywhere before 
with the older version of X but not this one for some reason. When I 
press the key, nothing happens. Numeric 3 works fine. Shift works fine. 
I get the correct output in vim, vi, firefox. I don't get it in an xterm (or
rxvt).  

I think maybe an option was missed when X was recompiled. Can anyone
please suggest what it might be? I've tried recompiling rxvt and xterm
to no avail.

thanks,
