revisit keyboard blocking/ignoring options #257

Description

nxagent knows these command line options:

-noignore              don't ignore pointer and keyboard configuration changes mandated by clients
-nokbreset             don't reset keyboard device if the session is resumed
-noxkblock             always allow applications to change layout through XKEYBOARD

Their names indicate that blocking/ignoring is active by default. In all the time I have been using NX I never have needed them and could happily change keyboard settings within the session (always via setxkbmap). While playing around with keyboard stuff last week I came across one case where I needed -noignore and -noxkblock (but that was a modified, buggy source code).

We should check when/if they work and fix them. I think especially the XKB stuff is not working as expected.
