As long as redirect actions remain supported, this will indeed remove the need for overlays. I am a bit pessimistic about the time it takes for such enhancements to be supported by applications (about one year ago, I still had to work with an XKB unaware application...) > Interesting - which problems does this cause exactly? In xterm, for example, when you press Shift+the key that has KP_Add on a higher level (for example, on Level 5 as in de(neo)), it will increase the font size, rather than entering the character. This is not a bug, it is just a loose definition of default keybindings, and can be fixed in the Xresources. But there are other Xt applications with similar problems.
