Update:

Some backward compatible options were disabled in the
xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.1-5 build which contains xkeyboard-config.

This has caused some problems for various users, and has been
fixed in the 1.0.1-6 release.  If you are experiencing any problems
with the 1.0.1-5 release, before filing a bug report in bugzilla,
please update to the -6 release, which can be found at:

xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.1-6 is now available for download via ftp at the 
following URL:  ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/unstable

After updating to -6, and restarting X, if you still have problems,
please search bugzilla to see if it has been reported already or not
(we get a lot of dupes for things like this, please help to limit
them), and if nobody's reported it yet, please file a new bug and
we'll go from there.

Thanks again to all the people testing FC5 development!
