Thanks for the detail, doing as you suggest and migrating all the 
references seems like the best approach as it shouldn't require any 
followup work in the future. I'll make the changes you've suggested, 
retest and post an updated webrev when I've done so.

I've done a text search for "XKeycodeToKeysym" across all the repos, the 
only uses I've been able to find are normal calls.

Thanks for the help,
