Maybe the fault is in xjet itself. I searched a litle bit with google and
I saw, many other programs have had the same problem.

And a look at xterm.c tells me some strangs line
	     if (ks >= 0xFF00)

But ISO_Left_Tab sends 0xfe20 how xev tells. I don't know what this line
above should say, but I don't found any other case how 0xfe20 is handled.
But I only looked a few seconds at the code.

And maybe there is another fault in xkeys.c. Because ISO_left_tab is on
0xfe20 it needs an entry in Shift_KeySym_mapping.

This would also fit with the problem, that my multi key doesn't work.
