[Tigervnc-devel] Unexported 'key_is_down' symbol required by vnc.so module

[Tim Waugh]

Hi,

When building tigervnc-1.3.0 against xorg-x11 1.14.3 (on Fedora 19/20),
the vnc.so module fails to load due to the 'key_is_down' symbol. This is
not exported by xorg-x11.

I'm not entirely sure what the fix is, but I know is *isn't* this:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/tigervnc.git/commit/?id=544fe4cd651eba2e45c6a04c5373c1b4f9037b40
because I tried that and it broke keyboard handling. :-/

Any idea how to fix this properly?

Thanks,
Tim.

Change xorg so it starts exporting it? Any other solution would always
involve some code duplication, which would be nice to avoid.

(And I seem to recall that GetMaster() suffers from the same issue)
