slightly broken xorg.conf in (at least) the Libya machines

Description

There is a line missing from the xorg.conf file for the Libyan (Arabic) machines in Build 223:

Option "XkbLayout" "us,ara"
Option :XkbVariant" "olpc,olpc"

It is the latter "variant" line that is missing. We should always be specifying the olpc variant for all of our distributions, including us, es, br, ur, ng, and ara.

(Also, we need to make the default font be DejaView. Bitstream Vera is missing too many characters we need. Also, an Arabic font and Urdu font should be included in those distributions, respectfully.

I just found another bug, of my own making. We need to use a different variant for us when using a th, ara, or ur keyboard. The current olpc variant maps ISO_NextGroup to <AB11> for these keyboards in the th, ara, and ur symbols files, but to Alt-Gr <AB11> for the us symbol file. This is because the us keyboard (and es, ng, and br) have multiply and divide symbols on that key. Not sure what to do in the long run, but I will have to make another variant (attached) for the time being.

For ara, th, and ur, we want something like this:

Option "XkbLayout" "us,ara"
Option "XkbVariant" "olpc2,olpc"

For us, we want something like this:

Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "olpc"

I suppose I need to add the same olpc2 options to es, br, and ng, in case someone whats to use those from ara, th, or ur... Complicated.
