Review: winex11.drv: Add workaround for 'phantom key' presence in X

[Aric Stewart]

It seems to be 'OK' for X11 to return that because everyone in the X11 
universe seems to just accept that as how X works. Not fixing it wine 
would mean require all wine users to use something like xmodmap to 
modify their own xservers to get the correct behavior.

That doesn't seem like an acceptable solution.
