if KWin feeds it with all key events: yes, but that would kind of break the 
complete security model of Wayland.

Also I would not feed all events, as at least inside KWin I would filter them 
for internal usage first (no need to do a roundtrip to get back what we 
already need and given that we have tricky workarounds already)
