Hm... if disabled, zillions of gnome-screenshooter windows starts to
appear (I haven't actually counted them and the amount is probably
proportional to the time I hold Alt [Gr]-SysRq before hitting K), if
enabled, caps-lock indicator starts to blink and the computer freezes
(whole computer, not only X)... Not sure how this can be helpful at
all...
