bug#65068: 29.1; xkb-interception interaction causes problems with key combinations

[Alexander Prähauser]

I just noticed that the last line in the dual-function-keys config

some point and not noticed because I hadn't restarted udevmon 
since. Please remove that x if you try it out, otherwise
it will produce an error.
