AW: AltGr key mostly fires an additional CONTROL key

Hi Oliver,

the ftp://.....exe.bz2 that you mention wasn't intended to contain any fix;
it only produces additional debug statements.

This is the one, that contains Jon's fix (works fine for me):
ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20110803-git-a493c0465e56ce0b.exe.bz2

Paul.
