The problem where the keyboard doesn't appear to work may be caused if you
have XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB environment variable.  The
startxwin.bat batch file should have been updated to remove this by the
upgrade, but if you have a different way of starting the server it may still
be in your environment. If it is, remove it :-)
