When pressing "system keys" e.g. ALT+F4 etc., the default for the windib driver is to ignore them completely, whereas with the directx driver they're handled (badly as it turns out).

As the windib driver is the default, I assume its behaviour is considered correct, so the following patch makes the directx driver the same in this regard.

Hmm, installing this patch results in the app receiving a tab key event when alt-tabbing out. This doesn't happen, as far as I can tell, with windib or pre-patch dx5.
