The patch is wrong, since it cures just a symptom not the problem itself.
There are two problems with current x11drv keyboard code:
1. Very likely that Turkish keyboard layout there is incorrect.
2. As stated before the keyboard code should be fixed to take into account
the real keyboard layout while building the keyc2vkey map, not the hardcoded
one.

Regarging Office 97 and Quicken problems: it's better to start with simple
+relay trace and search for MessageBox and the first occurence of the wrongly
formatted date respectively. Or just find a patch which caused a regression for
Office97.
