[Hassanake Vazir <hassan.shafiee@xxxxxxxxx>]

I used the get an error in a message box whenever I tried to use the Iranian layout and it caused various problems from not being able to switch layouts with shortcut keys, to an unavailable Farsi layout and finally a non-functioning keyboard.
After removing the "include" semicolons in "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ir" as reported above, and restarting my X session everything worked fine again. attached is the "ir" symbols file without the syntax errors if you are as lazy as me.

Here is the error message:
