Hi,
the attached patch solves an issue that I've had with cwm, namely that
my Meta modifier would get stuck until I pressed some *other* modifier.
The reason is that cwm's handling of modifier releases is rudimentary in
that it just looks for key release events from any of a fixed list of
keys that it assumes to be modifiers, rather than from the key that
actually generated the modifier press event.
Its current list ("modkeys") includes only Alt, Super, Control, and ISO
Level 3 Shift, not Meta. Thus it gets confused if one has a keymap with
separate Alt and Meta keys.
The patch expands the list to include XK_Meta_L and XK_Meta_R to fix the
immediate issue without trying to implement a more "correct" approach.
Hoping this can be accepted.
