Huh? What is "everything"? Which of these two things was the actual problem?
Your msg sheds zero light. If the second issue (RC5-DES) is the source
of your problem, then what is the relevance of KBD naming -- why say that "it
[key renaming] began to generate errors" if RC5-DES was the culprit?

I've had wierd names for my KBD shifting keys for ten years, and I've never had
ANY problem.
