Comment (by walter):

 I just found another bug, of my own making. We need to use a different
 variant for us when using a th, ara, or ur keyboard. The current olpc
 variant maps ISO_NextGroup to <AB11> for these keyboards in the th, ara,
 and ur symbols files, but to Alt-Gr <AB11> for the us symbol file. This is
 because the us keyboard (and es, ng, and br) have multiply and divide
 symbols on that key. Not sure what to do in the long run, but I will have
 to make another variant (attached) for the time being.

 For ara, th, and ur, we want something like this:
 {{{
 Option "XkbLayout" "us,ara"
 Option "XkbVariant" "olpc2,olpc"
 }}}

 For us, we want something like this:
 {{{
 Option "XkbLayout" "us"
 Option "XkbVariant" "olpc"
 }}}

 I suppose I need to add the same olpc2 options to es, br, and ng, in case
 someone whats to use those from ara, th, or ur... Complicated.
