Summary: xkb group switch

Initial Comment:
Always swich xkb group to group 0 when start rdesktop
and on focus rdesktop window.
It introduced because xkb returns different keysyms for
different layouts with the same scancode. For example:
Cyrillic_ef has scancode=0x26 and keysym=0x61 with 'us'
xkb layout and keysym=0x6c6 with 'ru' xkb layout.
Windows didn't recognize the last one. This is a problem.

Code got from xxkb program.
I define "xevent" as "ev.core" to sizedown the patch.
I didn't test it with another running keyboard-switcher
in DE such as KDE, Gnome, WM...

Instead of switching the group (which affects other desktop
applications), why not just always pass group 0 (or a
user-configurable group, even better) when resolving the key
with XkbKeycodeToKeysym?

We might also wish to use some of the Xkb controls such as
ConsumeLookupMods. This still has to be researched.
