Subject: patch: Unix keboard handler UTF-8 support
From: Tomas Frydrych (tomas@frydrych.uklinux.net)

This is a simple patch that allows keysym values that lie outwith
current (non-UTF-8) locale to be correctly translated by AW into
UCS values. This is essential for supporting UTF-8 locales, since in
a UTF-8 locale the keyboard can generate any Unicode character.
The patch circumvents the limitations of X, which currently does
not support UTF-8 locales.
The changes to existing AW code are minimal (about a dozen
lines) and the mechanism only kicks in when the standard gdk
processing fails, so that behaviour under supported locales is not
changed.
