Probably nothing.  I can't speak authoritatively for Motif, but I
suspect that they're doing the same thing that the R3 Xaw Text widget
does; i.e.  re-interpreting the XEvent in the action proc using
straight Xlib functions.  In R3 there was no support for a client of
Xt discovering the resulting KeySym that the Xt translation manager
produced when it called an action proc.  This addition is a part of
the R4 proposed changes.
