(My previous message and this one missed each other...)
Indeed, this entry talks about XKEYSYMDB being set up incorrectly in
the old startxwin.bat scripts and pointing to the wrong file.
In my case, I had it set wrongly in my .bashrc, hence the error. This
is also why it worked for Mr Root: his .bashrc was different!
But the full cleanup and reinstall was useful, too, even if not
perhaps necessary in this case.
