Hi,

There are  examples of using  xcb keyboard functions in  Awesome code[0]
and  also an  implementation of  XLookupString() (which  works basically
because XKB  is not available),  I dunno if  it would be helpful  to you
though ;).

Barton: what is the status of X keyboard input at the moment? I saw some
efforts towards  a XKB  extension in  XCB but it  has not  been finished
bcause XKB is supposed to be replaced, but I couldn't find anything...
