Oh well, looks like the Gtk+ reference has an error then:
It talks about <gdk/gdkkeysym.h> (note the missing 's').
No wonder `find` didn't turn up anything.

I have another question though:
Since most other GDK_XYZ makros are redefined as real constants in 
gdkmm, by making it Gdk::XYZ, why not so with the key codes?
That makes the use somewhat inconsistent.
For example, gdkmm maps GDK_KEY_PRESS to Gdk::KEY_PRESS, but it doesn't 
do so with the key codes.

How come?
