[Bug 978430] Re: "Enter" hangs when using it entering password with onboard in lightdm

[marmuta]

Try clicking more slowly. I just reproduced it by holding the button
down on the return key for a second. I have gnome-terminal auto-starting
in the session and it starts scrolling from all the enter presses right
after activating it.

And yes, without sending SIGTERM Onboard doesn't get the chance to clean
up and release pressed keys. The linked branch does that and in case
anything gets stuck it sends a SIGKILL too for good measure. That was
just a suggestion, but perhaps you can re-use some of the pieces.

Another option may be to make the greeter log in on key release instead
of key press when hitting return. Onboard wouldn't have to release any
keys that way. I felt that was a more invasive change, though, so I
haven't suggested it.
