mouseemu grabs keyboard events, but passes them on to a virtual keyboard
device that other applications can use. You need enough input event
devices for this to work.
Now that I checked this again: I modified mouseemu to _not_ grab the
keyboard for exclusive use, and removed the event passthrough in my
version. That does also seem to work ... I'll rebuild from pristine
sources to be sure, though.
