Following up my own post. I note while running xev that the shift
and control keys do not cause events. The xev output window
indicates all the other keys, but not those.
That's odd. What kind of keyboard do you have? Maybe there are
programs running which grab some of the keys and translate them to a
different kind of messages.
This is a pretty plain vanilla Win XP Prof SP2 installation.
Can somebody on XP SP2 with a US keyboard please run xev and see if
shift and control keys generate scancodes?

Left Alt and Fn don't generate any events (Windows intercepts both).
