Description Jonas G. Drange 2016-11-29 20:30:29 UTC 
Created attachment 340993 [details] [review]
patch that uses XKB_CONFIG_ROOT if set, XKB_BASE if not.

Reproduce:
We're using, on Ubuntu Core, gnome-xkb-info.h to produce a list of xkb input sources. Since / is mounted at /snap/… no list is produced and a warning is issued:

(process:11469): GnomeDesktop-WARNING **: Failed to load XKB rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml: Failed to open file '/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml': No such file or directory

I've attached a patch.
