Oh, duh, I guess that makes sense. Just didn't expect X11 to consider
them as ASCII 1 through 26...that seems so...DOS. :)
As a "gotcha" for SDL/X11 coders, though, be aware that your keydown event
for the letter key will have a different unicode value than your keyup if
you release the CTRL key before the letter key.
