 The XTest code had been written before the Xkb code, and it was left there as 
a fallback in case a system would have only XTest and not Xkb. According to 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System there is a chance such a system 
exists, but it shouldn't be a strong reason in case there is a problem with 
keeping the code.
