For reference, the same thing happens on Windows, and is often an issue
when debugging (if an action which is triggered by a modified keypress
activates a breakpoint, when you go back to the app the modifier is
still active and you have to press/release the key to get rid of it).
As you said, it's really a window manager issue, and I've seen it in
other apps to. Not sure if OSG should try to work around it or not...
