Ohhh, right, I forgot about that.  We don't install that header :)

That's ok then.

BTW, the changelog entry has the dirname in it.  For subdir changelogs this
isn't needed.

Then I think you lacked a changelog entry for it.  I didn't check that part
of the patch, check it in if you verified it - how does it come it doesn't
allocate the keyboard buffer twice with your change?  (Ie, you add an
allocation at an earlier place, why isn't it allocated a second time in the
place where it used to be allocated?)

Sure.
