 It can be actually even three times if sticky keys are configured to lock, 
but that seems to work as well. It however ceases to work if you turn NumLock 
on. KApplication::keyboardModifiers() includes the NumLock state (David and 
Michael Matz apparently weren't aware of the certain idiotic details of X's 
modifiers handling).

 Can you explain why exactly is that call needed? The event's state() or 
stateAfter() should give you the same information, without this problem.

 When I press Ctrl twice it still keeps the accesskeys activated. It'd be nice 
if the second press would turn it off again instead of me having to press Esc 
or wait, if this is supposed to be not very intrusive.
