-This package contains xkbevd, the XKB event daemon.
+The xkbevd event daemon listens for specified XKB events and executes
+requested commands if they occur. The configuration file consists of a
+list of event specification/action pairs and/or variable definitions.
+
+This command is very raw and is therefore only partially implemented;
+we present it here as a rough prototype for developers, not as a
+general purpose tool for end users.
