Summary: Rdesktop auto raw keyboard patch

Initial Comment:
I think, you know, that is some problems in keyboard switching and work with some regional layouts. For example, Russian layout.

And Alt-Linux command make some patch fo rdesktop, which enable "raw-keyboard mode". 
This patch solved problem and we were happy; patch was so popular, that it was included in Ububtu Linux.

But 6 months ago patch stopped working, because system scancodes in Linux was changed. It was awful!

Reason of this was simple, Alt-Linux coders make very "alternative" patch. They let static rule, actually, static array, which convert linux scancodes to windows ones. 

I wanted to solve this problem and make my own patch, founded by Alt-Linux patch. It recount replace rules in each start of rdesktop.

I offer this patch to you.

A.S.

Hm... I don't have this problem. 
What Linux used by you? What locale?
I have only two Russian Ubuntu's. And one Russian Windows XP.
In Russian layout ctrl+2 = ", in English one - @
In Russian ctrl+4 = ; in English - $

Your patch is pretty good work, but in en-us some keys don't work as
expected. E.G. EN-US Shift+2 must give "@", But it does ' " '. Shift+4 is
expected to be a ";", but it's a ":" and so on. Check it, please.
