Hmm.  There's this pending_aid thing which says we should queue the
aidcode
until....  I dunno...  effectively until the display is uninhibited.
`cvs blame' is reporting it's Mike's fault <g>

I think it's trying to prevent sending an aid code (like Enter) when
we're not
in a read, but I think we should just inhibit in that case.  I'm not
sure that's
a big deal, since we should never get to handling the key if the display
is X SYSTEM
or X CLOCK (we queue the keys until the display is live again, unless of
course it's
SysReq, Attention, or Reset which we handle immediately).

Mike, what is pending_aid in display.[ch] for?
