Well, I wrote the keycode handling in Xlib (actually, IIRC, the very first
versions of the GTK client did use more GTK keyhandling), because there
were some annoyances that made it hard to keep a reasonably close keyboard
behaviour with the Xlib client. It might be possible to use gdk calls tho.

Well, there have been reports of the client working with Cygwin :).
