It probably produces ISO_Left_Tab, I was binding the same action to Tab
and ISO_Left_Tab as well. And another to Shift Tab and Shift
ISO_Left_Tab.

So the way to handle Shift-Tab and Tab differently is to bind to Tab and
ISO_Left_Tab. It's somewhat weird, but looks like XFree86 brokeness
then.

BTW, why did the Shift-Tab binding work in 1.x gtk?
