I think the issue has always been present. What the code does is that it
prints a label for each key and then 3 modifiers. The patch won't print
the modifiers if they don't change the label. So it compares the
unmodified key label (POS_TOPLEFT) to the modifier label and if they are
the same it skips the modifiers on the label.
I haven't gotten a response on the upstream bug and I think they are
hoping to replace libgnomekbd. I'll post on the bug again and see if I
can get a response.
