Hi,
nice to see you back on the list.

As I have never seen a numeric keypad with a key labeled "Insert"
(PC-keyboards are labeled "0", which means GIIK_P0) it has been
removed. If anyone have contradictory information please let us
know so we can fix it.
If you are using the sym field you'll get GIIK_0 when NumLock is
active and GIIK_Insert when NumLock is inactive.

No you probably didn't miss anything, it's just missing docs.
Care to write some? ;)

Yes, this may be a good idea.
I've planned to clean up a bunch of error-messages from other sublibs
anyway, so I'll add this at the same time.
