Update on the TODO/bugs list.
> 1) Make all targets fill out mode.size when they can.
Committed for most important targets. Still some testing to do.
(Stefan, have you tried this out yet? If you have time, please
try display tile/multi/sub to see if they work as well.)
Berlin folks would also like to negotiate using the .size member,
which will simply involve making the various checkmodes behave as they
should and can be done on an incremental basis.

7) Ad Grab or Split input function to prevent segfault when closing
visuals whose inputs have been joined.
Proposed giiSplitInputs posted to ml, ggiSplitInputs still todo.

Actually it turns out I tested, and though I get more than 3 keys with
my USB keyboard most times, I was able to verify that there is
flakeyness, but it is not GII's fault. Keys are missed under xev too
and under linux-input's evtest utility as well. Odds are Christoph's
problems are with the underlying software/hardware.

Christoph asked whether to create an attic CVS module, or to
just create an attic tarball. What do folks think?

Procrastination worked. New autoconf/lt packages fixed the issues; the
problem was not local to LibGGI.

I have an idea as to why this may be, but have not attempted a fix yet.
