Re: [dev] [PATCH] [slock] React to key release rather than key press events

Say somebody manages to "clamp" any letter or number key without you
noticing, and you for the better of it cannot type in your password
(not because it's all-caps, but because it's spamming lots of chars).

So we want the screen to turn red on key down? Any key? Why just shift?

Not that I care too much, but for the sake of consistency I put this out there.
