[BRLTTY] xbrlapi on Ubuntu 8.04

Hi, 

I installed Ubuntu 8.04 a few days ago and since that, xbrlapi doesn't work
properly. When a type a 'a' on the braille keyboard for example, it outputs 
a 'q' in the X applications, as if xbrlapi didn't make the appropriate 
conversion it usually makes when using a non-US keyboard. 

As I don't remember exactly when I updated my brltty SVN trunk for the last 
time, the problem could also be due to a recent change in the xbrlapi source 
code, even if I am pretty sure that the problem occured after the update of 
my Ubuntu system. 

I know that Samuel had patched xbrlapi about one year ago to introduce a
mechanism allowing to resolve a brltty keycode to an X keysym for non-US
keyboard layouts, and it wolked perfectly until now. 

I really don't know anything about X11 so I haven't tried to debug things 
myself. So just tell me what I have to do to help you investigating this issue.

Thanks for your help Samuel and others,
