Description

since Tails 2.0, in every whisperback reports, there are hundreds of

amnesia gdm-Xorg-:0[2053]: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
amnesia gdm-Xorg-:0[2053]: > Warning:          Compat map for group 2 redefined
amnesia gdm-Xorg-:0[2053]: >                   Using new definition
amnesia gdm-Xorg-:0[2053]: > Warning:          Compat map for group 3 redefined
amnesia gdm-Xorg-:0[2053]: >                   Using new definition
amnesia gdm-Xorg-:0[2053]: > Warning:          Compat map for group 4 redefined
amnesia gdm-Xorg-:0[2053]: >                   Using new definition
amnesia gdm-Xorg-:0[2053]: Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

I don’t know at all why it is complaining, but, as in Bug #11661, even if it is not a critical error, it make the user-support job a lot harder than it could be.

IMO we should teach tails-debugging-info to filter out a list of regexps, and then frontdesk can add to that list of regexps (or provide enough example lines so that someone else can infer what new regexp should be added).
