Well I have all but given up. I have tried everythign I can think of to fix the problem with keyclone and xkeys but no luck. I guess by the lack of response that this is an isolated issue, or a nub question whose answer is buried in the search function (though I can't find it).

Sooo... Last call for help before I pack up the xkeys and send it back. Does anyone have any clue what the issue could be?
