Ok, the keyboard here works now with umlauts but I still
experience two flaws:

- When you switch desktops, plex86 suffers from Modifier
Madness. Example: In KDE, you switch desktops with Ctrl.
plex86 will see that you press Ctrl but it will not see
that you press F5 and then it will not see when you release
Ctrl ! The same happens, when you switch to a desktop with
plex86 but it less problematic: plex86 will see that you
release Ctrl and it will silently wonder why it hasn't
seen you pressing it :-)

When you switch away from plex86, plex86 will think that
Ctrl is still depressed and will react accordingly (typing
"copy" will send ^C ^O ^P ^Y to the DOS prompt).

The solution here is to check the modifiers as reported
by X11 and generate artificial Key Up/Down events if
the states of these keys are not what plex86 thinks.

The quick workaround is to press each modifier
key once when plex86 behaves strange.

- The next problem is that the keyboard sometimes hangs,
ie. no matter what I type, I cannot seem to get a prompt
back. I guess that DOS is doing something (because I
can press my Windows-Key and will see "xkeypress(): keysym
ffec unhandled") but it's still very irritating. Any
ideas what this could be ?
