Isn't the distinction between the hotkeys and normal keyboard events a bit
artificial (from user's POV)? I've read the rest of the discussion and it
seems that if the hotkeys were treated as part of the normal keyboard,
there would be no problems with determining what user account should
handle them, as they would be just sent to the X server on the active
screen.
