Bug description:
  Steps:
  * log in to unity8
  * Ctrl+Alt+F* to a different vt, or log in to a different user session
  * go back to the unity8 vt

  Expected:
  * session is locked, but working

  Current:
  * unity8 starts spinning for a time proportional to the period it was inactive
  * if it was inactive long enough, it doesn't seem to recover at all

  It seems it's "catching up" in some way, maybe with input, maybe
  frames.

  Causes:
  The mir::input::KeyRepeatDispatcher is running inside the nested mirserver 
even though there is another instance running inside the host server. A few 
months ago qtmir used to replace the key repeater by replacing mirs  
dispatcher. And key repeat is not disabled within the nested server. So both 
the host and the nested server are producing repeat events.
    Now due to a logic error inside mirserver the key repeat dispatcher is not 
hooked up to the input device hub when running inside the nested server. The 
input device hub would tell the key repeater when devices get removed - i.e. 
due to vt switching. So it never notices that the devices go away continues to 
produce those events indefinitely.

  This applies to all currently pressed buttons. I.e. you can open an
  edit field and press 'w' while simultaneously pressing Ctrl+Alt+FX to
  switch to another VT. On return 'w' will be repeated indefinitely.
