Bug#580946: #580946 interoperability problem with scroll lock toggles on xkb



(by the way, patch #258 simply plugs a hole which seems that it should
have appeared in #256 or before, the changes in this bug report come from #257)

This report sounds like two bugs:

a) patch #257 introduces a binding for Scroll_Lock.  While I did make the feature
   configurable (a compile-time ifdef could remove it entirely, or a resource can
   disable most of the feature), I overlooked the fact that other people would be
   using this orphaned key as well.

   For a quick workaround - if you set allowScrollOps resource to false, is the
   intercept of the key still interfering with your use of it?

   (if it is still interfering, I'll have to make the feature configurability
   different, e.g., by deciding whether to add it to the translations dynamically).

b) the scroll-lock feature doesn't work with fast-scrolling.

   Fixing this may take more time than (a), so I'm inclined to focus on being able
   to enable/disable the feature with low impact.
