Probably you're using the XKB extension. Check what keycode is generated
for shift-tab using "xev". On my Linux, it's ISO_Left_Tab. Add a line to
translateCode() in sqXWindow.c: 
	case XK_ISO_Left_Tab:	return  9;
To get the definition for XK_ISO_Left_Tab, put a "#define XK_XKB_KEYS"
before the "#include <X11/keysymdef.h>" line.

After compiling the VM you'll get shift-tab reported just fine :^)
