Yes, that is a problem. So far I haven't been able to think of a better 
solution than leaving their localization to the application, since the 
internationalization APIs are so different between platforms (perhaps 
this is something that could be abstracted in SDL too...). Improvements 
are welcome.

By the way, I'm currently investigating the use of the existing 
KeySym-to-Unicode tables you pointed me to for the GetLayoutKey() 
implementation. I'll post to bugzilla if and when I have something to show.
