Oh!!!! Yuck! it's a wine thing'y!

dlls/winex11.drv/keyboard.c:2365: *           ToUnicodeEx (X11DRV.@)
dlls/winex11.drv/keyboard.c:2382:INT X11DRV_ToUnicodeEx(UINT virtKey, UINT scanCode,
LPBYTE lpKeyState,

dlls/user32/input.c:631:INT WINAPI ToUnicodeEx(UINT virtKey, UINT scanCode, LPBYTE
lpKeyState


Maybe we need to update our code tree?
