GGI Console is using ggi_key_events to pass around key events (from
keyboard driver -> keymapper -> xterm emulator), so the definition of
"ggi_key_event" directly affects GGI Console.  It is just the current
assumption in GGI Console that GGI keysym == Linux keysym that is
worrying me, but that can probably be fixed fairly easily.
