Yes, you are right ! Your patch is not buggy :-) I could reproduce this
behaviour with the simple program below :

#include <allegro.h>

int main() {
   allegro_init();
   install_keyboard();
   
//   set_gfx_mode(GFX_XWINDOWS, 320, 200, 0, 0);

   while (!keypressed()) {
   }
}
END_OF_MAIN();

If you uncomment the 'set_gfx_mode' this example ends when you press a
key otherwise it does not. I have learnt this is a standard behaviour
for windowed modes but I think this should be documented (at least in
the FAQ : for instance "Why my keyboard doesn't work under X-windows
?").
