MaskUsedModifiers: remove bits used for XKB group index
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
According to section "Xkb State to Core Protocol State
Transformation" of the "The X Keyboard Extension: Library
Specification", the Xkb-aware server reports group index in bits
13 and 14 of XEvent.xkey.state or XEvent.xbutton.state.  This
interferes with FVWM's modifier handling as described in #861.
