 It's a covariant return which requires pointer adjusting.

 Actually it's 4) there is a covariant return but it's #ifdef-ed and has a 
configure check testing if it works (and there are other strange things in 
khotkeys which I wanted to try just for the fun of it, like overloaded 
operator , ).

 I guess I could simply remove it, but could you have a look in your 
config.log why the check apparently passes when the compiler can't handle it?
