Keyboard support in Linux is suboptimal.

I should do a pass on that one of these days.

It is in the pharo-vm/platforms/unix/vm-display-X11/sqUnixX11.c file, lines
2001-2364 and a bit after.
(+ x2sqmodifiers function).

https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/platforms/unix/vm-display-X11/sqUnixX11.c

There is a DEBUG_KEYBOARD_EVENTS define one can set to see what's going on.

My keyboard is french belgian.

There are also issues in CentOS that have nothing to do with Pharo as
things are also going bad in native apps.
