StickyKeys is especially important to access key users.  So a solution 
is very desirable.

Pressing a modifier twice in a row 'locks' it, the third press 
unlatches/unlocks it.  At least, that's the XKB default behavior.

There's a GNOME one which could probably be tweaked:

cvs.gnome.org/.../gnome-applets/accessx-status

It uses gconfd at the moment, by default, since the gnome settings 
daemon manages the XKB settings.  You may want want to hook into a 
similar KDE settings daemon, or go direct to XKB (a small patch should 
suffice).
