clx: display-keyboard-mappings: spurious caching of the mappings about clx HOT 2 CLOSED

I've been thinking about what would be the ideal solution, CLX would provide two classes for display, the vanilla and the cached-keysyms-display. The user of CLX could decide with which version to start the connection. However due to CLX's design, that favors minimizing the round trips doing this would require heavy modifications to the code base. A more workable solution would be to document the problem in the manual and provide example code of how to handle the keyboard layout changing notify-event in the client code.

Thoughts?

This is correct behavior, McCLIM handles it correctly and stumpwm does as well. See closed wip fix (last comment) for explanation, why we don't want to handle this in clx (#54).
