Commit 08ca70c00d added support for Xlib cursor themes by making awesome use
Xlib for its X11 connection and for setting cursor icons. Everything else was
still done through xcb.
However, an unexpected side effect of this is that Xlib enabled the XKB
extension without asking us. This changes the way that keyboard events are
reported which causes problems with various keyboard events.
(Normally, Xlib hides these things by silently fixing up the events that it
hands out to applications. However, since we bypassed Xlib via xcb...)
The fix is simple: Luckily Xlib provides a function for disabling its XKB
support which is just what we need.

Building and installation
-------------------------
After extracting the dist tarball, run:
make
This will create a build directory, run cmake in it and build awesome.
After building is finished, you can install:
make install # you might need root permissions
Running awesome
---------------
You can directly select awesome from your display manager. If not, you can
add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession to start awesome using your display manager:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
