>Description:
My best guess is that the keysym names are corrupt
in, perhaps, one of

/usr/local/lib/libxcb-keysyms.a
/usr/local/lib/libxcb-keysyms.la
/usr/local/lib/libxcb-keysyms.so
/usr/local/lib/libxcb-keysyms.so.

installed by the port xcb-util-0.3.6_1.

Simply running

 % xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"

gives

xmodmap:  commandline:1:  bad keysym in remove modifier list
'Caps_Lock', no corresponding keycodes
xmodmap:  1 error encountered, aborting.

Other keysym names in my .Xmodmap file, which I haven't modified for years, are causing errors since the upgrade as well.

If there is anything else I can provide, just let me know.
