Keyboard and Mouse Input delay/pausing using 6.8.99.901

[Colin Harrison]

Hi,

More clues...

This patch (hack!) fixes the latency you describe..but leaves a no-keypress
repeat problem, for some users (not as bad a fault!)

Any explanation as to why the XDMCP state machine has gone wrong, with
heavyweight display managers, is welcome.
All my testing was done using XP SP2 fully patched up-to-date.
