Platform specific tests/issues are marked with [].

These tests are primarily about what is sent over the protocol and some
may be difficult or impossible to test using normal applications. In
these cases you can turn on debug logging in either the client or the
server by specifying "-Log *:stderr:100".

resulting in nothing being sent to the applications. Just run setxkbmap
with any layout to reset the symbol table.
