Well, I just played a little bit on my keyboard and all ef the key
(except the "cut"-key) produce events. An example: Pressing "h" and then
"n" gives:

KeyPress event, serial 20, synthetic YES, window 0xe00001,
    root 0x34, subw 0x40005f, time 497408, (7,4), root:(739,37),
    state 0x0, keycode 89 (keysym 0x68, h), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (68) "h"

KeyPress event, serial 20, synthetic YES, window 0xe00001,
    root 0x34, subw 0x40005f, time 497691, (7,4), root:(739,37),
    state 0x0, keycode 199 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

Some things I noticed: On the num-pad only the "+-*/" work, return
doesn't (work state 0x0, keycode 156 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol) ) and shift
doesn't (work state 0x0, keycode 205 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol) ).
