bug#65068: 29.1; xkb-interception interaction causes problems with key combinations

[Alexander Prähauser]

The significance of the U-key is that when I press 
Space-CapsLock-U (or any other key, I think), it doesn't send the 
signal
that is configured by xkb but the corresponding key of the default 
English keymap (u for the U-key), which really
shouldn't happen. Anyway, here the output after pressing the 
sequence you wanted:

keycode: 48, keysym: 65027, 0
keycode: 192, keysym: 269025093, 0
keycode: 37, keysym: 65507, 0
keycode: 37, keysym: 65507, 0
keycode: 48, keysym: 65027, 0
keycode: 192, keysym: 269025093, 0
