Ok.. Got it..
Cubemike had already uploaded his images in this post:

..and his keyboard.xml file in this post:

Now.. mixing the standard keyboard.xml(from the latest kterm dump) and Cubemike's images produced a grotesque result -- there was a second image of the keyboard below the 1st one and some the keys on the right side got truncated..
Using Cubemike's keyboard.xml along with his images worked.. only the layout is missing the esc key (and what else?)..
So it looks like Cubemike's keyboard.xml file needs to be modified to match the standard layout..
Will give it a try..
