 The telnet interface for controlling the frontend has a "key" command to
 send key presses. This worked fine for all keys in 0.21, but in HEAD (as
 of about a week ago) it is broken for all non-alphanumeric keys.

 To reproduce:

 Go to a text field in the frontend. I used the Audio output device
 settings field. I can enter in symbol characters like ':' using a
 keyboard. I then use the telnet remote like:

 {{{
 $ telnet <frontend> 6546
 ...
 # key :
 OK
 }}}

 However, nothing is entered in the frontend. This occurs whether I use the
 symbols themselves or their names, i.e. "key colon".
