[Bug 1562381] Re: Typing special characters with non-US layout get repeated indefinitely

[marmuta]

What Onboard exactly does at the point of the layout switch is calling
XSync() right after XTestFakeKeyEvent() (not remapping the layout on the
fly, which it can do to). So its probably the same bug #837456.

I'm still hesitant to duplicate. That bug is so old and nothing ever
came from it. I feel we need get more specific and then talk straight to
upstream, whoever that will be.

I have some tiny sample code that generates a MappingNotify event,
seemingly for no reason. If we find the source of that we're perhaps a
bit closer to a solution.
