It gets worse. So the bogus KeyUp events are a well known bug that was
introduced into X11 some twelve years ago. In order to avoid backward
compatibility issues, a new function was introduced:

Bool XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat ( display, detectable, supported_rtrn )
Display * display ;
Bool detectable ;
Bool * supported_rtrn ;

Calling this is supposed to switch off the bogus events, so the workaround
that we (and many many others) used is not required anymore. Great so far,
but now, this particular call used a side effect on many current X
Servers. This side effect was recently eliminated, so many for many Unix
releases (Ubuntu, Solaris, and others), the above call is broken, causing
even more confusion and failed code.

Applying the above patches will break every program that uses FLTK with
game style key keyboard handling. Not applying it will break soft keyboard
support. *** SIGH ***.
