Fix key repeat problem

I have had trouble with keys getting "stuck" and autorepeating until some  
key press. I believe the problem is related to clients grabbing the  
keyboard for some(?) time. The attached patch seems to cure this.

I have only seen the problem in xserver 1.6, not 1.5 or master.

See also http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-devel/2009-July/001387.html
where the patch was ack'ed by Peter Hutterer. Unfortunately the patch seems to be empty in the mail archive.
