+The X server uses this directory to store the compiled version of the
+current keymap and/or any scratch keymaps used by clients. The X server
+or some other tool might destroy or replace the files in this directory,
+so it is not a safe place to store compiled keymaps for long periods of
+time. The default keymap for any server is usually stored in:
+ X<num>-default.xkm
+where <num> is the display number of the server in question, which makes
+it possible for several servers *on the same host* to share the same
+directory.
+
+Unless the X server is modified, sharing this directory between servers on
+different hosts could cause problems.
