Well, yes, but as Tomas Carnecky points out that is not a legitimate
assumption.  Specific keycode values are not a published part of the X
protocol; applications are supposed to use keysyms.

Indeed there exist physical X terminals (I have one at home) which use
different keycode values.  I can only assume that no-one with one of
these has used qemu and known how to report the resulting
misbehaviour.
