Sometimes when I call XLookupString it returns the keysym XK_K but the
string is '^K' and not 'K' as the naive user would expect. K is only used
for example. The same problem seems to happen for all capital letters.
Clues? TIA

You should also look at the state mask of the XKeyEvent. This mask
indicates the modifier state like Shift, Control, Lock and so on.
I think there will be also a XKeyEvent for pressing the Control-key,
before pressing the 'K'-key. But I'm not sure.
