Right. This is exactly the problem. The current grab API exists to prevent keys from being delivered to normal users, but rfkill still wants to see them. No matter how you slice it, if both of these desires are to be satisfied then there needs to be some sort of a system to differentiate between rfkill and "normal users". That's what the priority is here. > Yes, applications need to decide whether they want to process certain > events or not.

I disagree. Dependencies aren't a problem at all if people merely rely on the kernel to take care of the appropriate filtering. Dependencies only become a problem when X needs to know about "ok... maybe I should ignore keys that are handled by [hal] [rfkill] [others] etc...".
