Follow-up Comment #2:

The discussion of this item was moved on to the mailing list. I just copy in
Derek's latest reply, so it isn't lost although I wont address it at the
moment:

Looking at your commit comments,  I do have a question and further
suggestion.

    "Also use NSBackTabCharacter on X11 when XK_ISO_Left_Tab is
     pressed, but don't convert shift-tab into NSBackTabCharacter."

Now my patch didn't have any code in back to map shift+XK_Tab to backtab.
However,  I think it would be a good idea.  So why not add it?

It is possible some X installations don't have XK_ISO_Left_Tab,  and (in
back)
it is conditional upon XKB support.  At least one VNC server omits XKB
support.

Having the back ends do the mapping would also allow it to be removed
from the code in NSBrowser,NSInputManager,NSWindow,NSMatrix which checks
for Tab+shift.
