Public bug reported:
When using Unity7 or Plasma a key event created by Ctrl+C is
QKeyEvent(KeyPress, Key_C, ControlModifier, text="\u0003")
But Unity8+ qtubuntu send to the application
QKeyEvent(KeyPress, Key_C, ControlModifier, text="c")
This is most likely because QMirClientInput::dispatchKeyEvent is using
xkb_keysym_to_utf8 to get the text of the event instead of using
xkb_state_key_get_utf8
This breaks for example Konsole that expects the correct text to be
sent.
