[PATCH] NumLock/CapsLock masks in Thai XIM (round 2)

[Theppitak Karoonboonyanan]

Hi,

I'd like to resume the review for my patch proposed to Bug #12517
(Thai XIM does not filter inputs when NumLock/CapsLock is on) [1]

  [1] http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12517

In the last round, I was suggested to check for NumLock modifier
with XkbGetVirtualMods, but it has not been successful so far on
my system (Debian unstable). It keeps returning BadAlloc, as if
XKB were not supported by the X server.

So, I have checked and traced some codes from NumLockX
package [2], and found that the call to a similar XKB function,
namely XkbGetKeyboard also fails. And the program only works
by XTEST fallback.

So, I borrow the fallback and come up with this patch instead.
