[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] Linux Squeak VM X11 keyboard changes breaks 32b VM (#396)

[kksubbu]

Tim,

I used gdb to nop out above code in the text segment as this was quicker and easier than trying to rebuild a 32b binary. Then the image worked like charm.

The comment in recode() is confusing and I need time to understand its rationale. Shift is keyboard specific and decides charCode and should be handled in the VM while Ctrl is  a modifier and should be passed to the image. So I don't understand why a key event should be generated when Shift alone is pressed or released. 

I also found a thread from 2012 where Guillermo Polito fixed a similar problem in Windows code

HTH .. Subbu
