[BRLTTY] So key tables will have to remain off by default?

Keyboard interception is disabled, i.e. it works as it should. The real danger, 
other than a bug within the actual keyboard interception code, is that the 
keyboard will appear to be dead if any part of brltty ends up in an infinite 
loop. Now we know that this doesn't tend to happen because the braille 
display's controls and braille cell updating would also stop working and we 
don't tend to see that.

Another thing we may wish to look at is giving brltty a realtime priority so 
that keyboard event handling won't slow down on a heavily loaded system. Any 
thoughts, anyone?
