Yes.  This could also handle stuff like Ctrl-a for toggling
kFeatureAspectRatioCorrection.  It could either be a wrapper for
the backend specific pollEvent(), or a separate function for the
engine to call, in the tradition of XFilterEvent().  But a wrapper
would be more convenient for engine developers, I think.
