Thanks for this mail.  All that's clear to me right now is that you
understand more of the issues here than I do.  That said, I'm picking
up a clear impression that you think the C bindings are arguably
broken in this respect, so in the interests of getting a CLX 0.6 out
sooner rather than later, I'm going to hold off on this patch until
I've done the necesary background work to know what you're talking
about.  

(I have an irrational prejudice against Xkb, as the only thing it's
ever done for me is break a previously personally good UK keyboard
setting.  I need to get over that, obviously; if anyone could point me
at some good documentation describing what it does, that would
certainly help)

Here's to a 0.6.1 in rather less time than 0.6 has taken...
