When inputting text, dead-keys are currently not handled correctly on Windows with the latest SDL2 tip as well as the 2.0.3 release.
Using a French AZERTY keyboard, when I type the `^` key followed by `e` key to compose the `` character, I erroneously get two SDL_TEXTINPUT events, one with the `^` character and one with the `e` character.
I've looked at the history for SDL_windowsevents.c and there's been some back-and-forth with several methods for handling text input:
* r8142 removed any handling of WM_CHAR because keyboard input was being handled through WM_KEYDOWN along with ToUnicode since r7645.
* But using ToUnicode actually breaks dead-keys (googling for "ToUnicode dead keys" reports many horror stories of people trying to work around that and failing).
* It seems like r7645 introduced a double-fix: it fixed WM_CHAR to properly handle Unicode, and also (unnecessarily?) added text input handling to WM_KEYDOWN. Later, r8142 removed the WM_CHAR stuff instead of the WM_KEYDOWN stuff.
The attached patch restores handling of text input through WM_CHAR and removes it from WM_KEYDOWN. I've tested it with French, English and Russian layouts and it seems to do its job. Obviously, with such matters, it's still a risky change.
Sometimes, on removal SDL_EVDEV_udev_callback() gets called with zero udev_class. This in turn seems to be caused the SDL_udev.c:guess_device_class() failing to find the attributes of the parent device.
Apparently this is normal, attributes are not guaranteed to be in place during removal, depending on timing. This lack of attributes causes guess_device_class() to return zero.
This fix mimics the code in linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c:joystick_udev_callback() which effectively has the same fix already in place.
- disable compiling in XAudio2 support. We both need the DX SDK to make this code plus we need to work out the runtime dependency problem this code bring in on windows (needing the DX runtime installed).

- do the scancode to keyboard code lookup for the grave key, so that we can show users the correct keyface for the key, rather than forcing it to "`". Note that if a game is using SDLK_* for its KB mapping then after this change on some keyboards the top left key will no longer be mapped correctly with the old data.

It loses the title and icon when window recreation fails. For instance, this may happen when trying to create an OpenGL ES window on a system that doesn't support it. But at that point, the title and icon have already been lost.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
If SDL_SaveBMP_RW() was called with NULL passed as SDL_RWops argument, different
values were returned depending on SDL_GetError(). If no error was set before the
call (or SDL_ClearError() was called) then 0 was returned. This is wrong because
nothing was saved. If an error was set before the call then -1 was returned.
This was fixed by directly returning -1 for NULL input instead of deciding based
on SDL_GetError(). No new error is set because this would otherwise override a
maybe more useful error set in SDL_RWFromFile() which is used by SDL_SaveBMP().
This is a Win32-specific fix for bug 2726. A WinRT fix for this bug was applied
separately, via https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/91f56dcad879
This fix applies SDL_TOUCH_MOUSEID to 'mouse' events coming from touch devices,
but only when relative-mouse-mode is turned OFF. This bug is still present
when relative-mouse-mode is ON, however Microsoft does not provide documentation
on whether or not those input events (which come from WM_INPUT) can be
identified as touch-specific or not. Unofficially, that data might be available
(via GetMessageExtraInfo()), however this patch only uses MS-documented APIs.

Using X11 (on Debian Wheezy), SDL_GetModState() & KMOD_NUM and KMOD_CAPS are not set to system state (numlock/capslock LEDs). Pressing numlock or capslock toggles the mod state, though if num/caps lock is enabled before starting the program it's still reversed from system state. This makes getting KMOD_NUM and KMOD_CAPS in programs unreliable. This can be seen using the checkkeys test program.
The function that appears to have handle this in SDL 1.2 is X11_SetKeyboardState. The function call is commented out with "FIXME:" in SDL 2.
Using Windows backend through WINE; on first key press if numlock and/or capslock is enabled on system, numlock/capslock SDL_SendKeyboardKey is run and toggles KMOD_NUM/KMOD_CAPS to the correct state. On X11 this does not happen.
The attached patch makes X11 backend set keyboard state on window focus if no window was previously focused. It sets all keys to system up/down state and toggles KMOD_NUM/KMOD_CAPS via SDL_SendKeyboardKey to match system if needed. The patch is based on SDL 1.2's X11_SetKeyboardState.

Upon creating a window, a window property is added to it through the Win32-function "SetProp". This is done in the SDL-function "SetupWindowData" in file "src\video\windows\SDL_windowswindow.c".
Whenever you call "SetProp" to add a property to a Win32-window, you should also call the Win32-function "RemoveProp" to remove it before destroying that Win32-window.
While you might think that it's ok and that Windows will clean up nicely itself, it is not ok. It is against all Win32-API guidelines and is mostlikely a leak. Especially on external windows (CreateWindowFrom) you want to have things done right, not messy and leaky, affecting some other module. Even if SDL gets shutdown entirely that external window will now forever still have the "SDL_WindowData" prop attached to it.
