Here's a little program I've extracted from the code to init that demonstrates the problem.

1. launch splashy

2. see that the F2 key works ok.

3. launch "sabotage"

4. now the F2 and ESC keys do nothing.

(To build sabotage just "cc -o sabotage sabotage.c").

I'll keep looking to try and narrow down the exact function that breaks splashy, but it seems that there are three possible ways to fix this problem:

1. modify init to not do whatever it does that screws up splasy - improbable. 2. modify splashy, so it has a function "re-establish connection to keyboard", to be called after init has started
3. stop & restart splashy after init has restarted - visually unappealing.
