A key being held down on focus-in will not produce a "press" event, so I 
don't see what the problem is.

If a client wants to check if X is held down I think the user expects it 
to work even if it was held down as part of the command to switch 
windows. Therefore I think the current behavior is correct.

All I can guess is that this is having some problem with the way wayland 
is implemented. Is it causing unwanted key repeats? Or preventing them 
when they are wanted?? Or are you worried about the client getting a 
"release" event?
