When we substitute displayMgr with xepdmgr this would not be a problem. But in the meantime, while we use displayMgr for the iliad OS and only xepdmgr on a app-by-app basis, how should we handle this?
Options:
1. Don't use this keyboard until we change displayMgr with xepdmgr
2. make xepdmgr to ignore the keyboard when launches a program, or to monitor only a command-line specified window (by class for example) -- this last option used for the keyboard
3. Introduce some code in xepdmgr so that if various instances are detected, one of the becomes master and the other waits for the master to die to regain the ability to update the screen.
A while ago I was thinking in the third approach but right now I'm not sure if it is worth the effort: (1) is the easiest X-).
