Huh... the last time I tried, X returned raw keycodes too, which are of
course server-dependent. The XKeyEvent structure contains the following
member according to Volume One of the O'Reilly guide:

typedef struct {
   ...
   unsigned int keycode;   /* server-dependent code for the key */
   ...
} XKeyEvent;
