<AWT Dev> [8] Review request for 8000626 Implement dead key detection for KeyEvent on Linux

[Alexander Scherbatiy]

Could you review the updated fix:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alexsch/8000626/webrev.01/

The only changes is that the key typed event is not generated for the 
dead keys.

Thanks,
Alexandr.
