Use a better, more portable approach to the shift-F11 problem. src/ChangeLog addition: 2011-08-28 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * event-Xt.c (x_to_emacs_keysym): Take a new pointer argument, X_KEYSYM_OUT, where we store the X11 keysym that we actually used. * event-Xt.c (x_event_to_emacs_event): Call x_to_emacs_keysym with its new pointer argument, so we have access to the X11 keysym used. When checking whether a keysym obeys caps lock, use the X11 keysym rather than the XEmacs keysym. When checking whether a key has two distinct keysyms depending on whether shift is pressed or not, use the X11 keysym passed back by x_to_emacs_keysym rather than working it out again using XLookupKeysym(). * event-Xt.c (keysym_obeys_caps_lock_p): Use XConvertCase() in this function, now we're receiving the actual X keysym used.
