Humph. Well, good, I guess. (Even if it doesn't work for me, this means
that OTHER users will probably be able to use the ISO14755 entry mode
without trouble).

My user account doesn't have the language bar enabled at all.
Hmm...maybe it's sticky. I *used* to have it enabled, and I *used* to
have hotkeys enabled -- but the only hotkey was/is "left-alt + shift".
Not ctrl+shift.

Odd. With -keyhook, I do NOT see Alt-Tab being intercepted by the
Xserver. BUT, CTRL-ALT-0 does work.
$ startxwin -- :0 -keyhook
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 1.7.3.0 (10703000)
Build Date: 2009-12-22
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
XWin was started with the following command line:
X :0 -keyhook -multiwindow
winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1
(II) xorg.conf is not supported
...
Vista SP2, 32bit.
Oh, WIERD. Now, I just tried it again *without* -keyhook, and
CTRL-SHIFT-0 still works. That's just bizarre.
All I can figure is, I turned on the language bar, switched keyboards,
switched back, and then turned off the language bar. And now, I can't
"break" the CTRL-SHIFT-0.
Well...I'm happy, I guess.
