Looks like the KeymapNotify evens from the xserver are a bit flaky these
days. Like mentioned in the documentation[1] these only get reported on
EnterNotify and FocusIn events, which is not good enough as you might
change layout without triggering these events. On top of that I'm only
getting them once in a while.
