[osg-users] X11 keyboard bug (+ ugly fix)

X11 does, of course, tell you which modifiers are active. But only
which modifier level (shift), not which modifier key (shift_l, shift_r),
so you'd still release keys that were never pressed before. (I'm not
sure if that's really a problem, but it might be.) One would have to
keep track of every single key to avoid it.  :-/

For me *not* fixing that in OSG is not an option. But then again,
it *is* fixed for me in OSG already, so ...  :-)
