Complementing this code, I've got a gnome-settings-daemon patch to show
an OSD to hint about *Lock keys being pressed when the keyboard in
question does not have leds to tell so. The laptop I got recently has
none, and it buggers me when I start yelling without noticing.

Oh, will check there. I first looked at the keyboard builtin before
going for the standalone program, although this felt quite out of place
there.
