Package: keytouch
Version: 2.3.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Unable to complete logout/shutdown/restart sequence with keytouch. I have to
kill keytouchd manually from another term to make the logout process continue. 
The bug has triggered this weekend after running some updates (maybe 
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.1~git20080517-2~lenny1 ? )
I temporary removed keytouch package from my system to fix the problem.

This is the same bug as #186713 on launchpad.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/keytouch/+bug/186713

The author (Marvin Raaijmakers) proposed a fix on the launchpad page :
"I found the cause of this problem. While trying to do a clean exit, keytouchd 
does a call to XCloseDisplay. The problem is that, surprisingly, the program 
does not return from the XCloseDisplay call and thus doesn't exit. I think can 
this be described as unexpected behavior of XCloseDisplay, because as far as I 
know XCloseDisplay should allways return. A work around is to comment out the 
call to XCloseDisplay in keytouchd/main.c."

Regards,

Laurent
