Looks good.

Hmm, the original bug that git fixed by that was #1717 [1] from the 
description: "Since we do not supply a keyboard model by default, 
xfree86 gets picked up, and as a result the arrow keys, etc do not work 
on Xephyr. We should use evdev instead."

However with or without your patches the arrow keys do not work for me 
on Xephyr (jhbuild F14). Not sure if that was ever fixed at all...
