I have a tough time to port X's parser to Qt.
I've already created the sample program (attached), but have some problems.

The parsed result comes as X's "KeySym", so it needs to exchange "KeySym" to 
Qt's keycode.
Since Qt's doesn't distinguish Qt::Key_A, and Qt::Key_a, I decided to use 
character code based composing tables like this. (NOTE that this is of course 
test table). This means it nees to convert Qt's keycode to character code.

   117 |static const ComposeTableElement defaultTable[] = {
   118 |    // test entries                                                                                                                   
   119 |    { {'A' , ' ', 0, 0, 0, 0}, 'a' },
   120 |    { {'a' , ' ', 0, 0, 0, 0}, 'b' },
   121 |}

One solution to deal with this is to prepare the hash table of keyname and 
character code like /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB but this requires to maintain this 
list, so the merit of importing parser becomes subtle.

To conclude, I think it costs high to merge X's parser to Qt.
Any opinion?
