Ok, I was wrong before - the deadlock isn't on shutdown. It happens like
this:
background-thread, when installing the keyboard repeat timer:
holds x11 -> waits for timer
timer-thread, when drawing mouse:
holds timer -> wants x11
Luckily, there is a very easy fix, which also solves another
longstanding bug (Allegro ignores the OS keyboard rate) at the same
time: Remove set_keyboard_rate. I'll create a patch which makes X11 pass
through repeat-key events, and deprecate set_keyboard_rate. (Someone
else will have to update windows and OSX.)
