+interesting bug... tricky to track down.
+
+The bug only occurs if Xkb triggers an autorepeat. In this case,
+XkbHandleActions overwrites dev->public.realInputProc with EnqueueEvent. When
+the device is unfrozen, the realInputProc is written back to the
+processInputProc and the whole thing craps out.
+
+Here's a preliminary hack to fix it. It stops the loop occuring (tested with
+ratpoison) but I'm not sure what other implications it has. It most probably is
+not the correct solution.
