OK, so the problem seems to be caused by the fact that Emacs 29 moved
to using XInput2 extensions if they are available.  So maybe your X
server needs some update or fix or maybe XInput2 is unable to support
these keyboard layouts (which would surprise me) and you'll need Emacs
built without XInput2 support, or maybe the keyboard layouts you are
using need to be updated to work with XInput2.  Or something else.
Like I said: I'm not an expert on this stuff, and we currently don't
have anyone else on board who is.

So my recommendation is still to take this up with your distro's
maintainers, who presumably know more about this stuff.  If they
decide that this is some problem in Emacs, they should submit a bug
report to our bug-tracker with the details, and we then hopefully will
be able to fix this.
