Yes, and it's also obsolete and might be removed in the future versions 
of XFree86. It was replaced by xkb mechanism, which isn't really new 
either.

KDE 2.0 uses xkb.

No. I'd say from developers point of view this is XFree86 issue (is 
slovak keyboard supported under it?) and not KDE issue.

If slovak keyboard doesn't exist yet, it should be created and submited 
as patch to XFree86 developers. It's not that hard to do, but if it 
gives you problems, than please email me.

Note: I might need a day or two for reply, because I recently had to 
start doing my civil service so my free time is now in very limited 
supply.

Fonts are fine. I use RH 6.2 with proper fix for slovenian keyboard and 
it works just fine. I doubt that fonts were changed between releases.

Btw, as far as I know, there was intention to update kikbd to 2.x 
release, but I have no idea how far they came with it.

Kind regards,

P.S: This is something that probably belongs to kde-user.
