[Bug-xnee] xmodmap stalls xnee --record

[Gelineau,Samuel [Montreal]]

Hi,

You may or may not consider this a bug, but I've figured out that calling xmodmap while xnee is recording will cause xnee to stop outputing new events.

How to reproduce:

$ xnee --k-log --record --all-events > foo.log &
$ wc -l foo.log
82 foo.log
$ wc -l foo.log
85 foo.log
$ xmodmap -e 'clear Lock'
$ wc -l foo.log
136 foo.log
$ wc -l foo.log
136 foo.log
$ killall xnee
$ rm foo.log

I personally don't see this as being very problematic, but I would have preferred xnee to halt or output a message instead of stalling. I also wanted to point out this behaviour in case other people saw their long-running xnee sessions hang mysteriously and wondered what could cause it.
