I've just applied a small patch in cvs that (partially) fixes the 
problem. Allegro programs will now not detect keystrokes if their 
window is not focused; there's a problem with dumb though as its 
example programs do not create a window at all, so there's no way for 
Allegro to detect if the program got focus or not... Generally with 
interactive Allegro programs it's always better for them to create a 
window, as some Allegro features may not work properly otherwise; this 
is also the case under QNX, where the Allegro keyboard subsystem will 
not even work if the program hasn't created a window first.
