REVISION SUMMARY
  KKeyServer does an incorrect translation to keysyms: it always
  translates to the uppercase variant.
  
  This change makes the default go through xkbcommon and tries to get
  the keysym from matching the unicode representation. E.g. an "a" is
  then recognized as the lower case a, and an "A" as the uppercase one.
  
  Only if the translation through text fails we pass back to KKeyServer
  which does a reasonable translation for non-text symbols.
