Dear Maintainer,

I wanted to try out the new xfce4-display-settings from 4.12, so I
installed all xfce4 related stuff from experimental. After installing it
both keyboards (bluetooth and normal laptop keyboard) had a few keys not
working anymore. It where the "4" and "e" keys.

There are still keyboards events, but "xev -event keyboard" has no
window associated to it. Here is the output only for the key "e"

### Output with xfce4-settings 4.10 (working keyboard):

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0xb3, subw 0x0, time 8332672, (549,408), root:(1420,941),
    state 0x0, keycode 26 (keysym 0x65, e), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (65) "e"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (65) "e"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0xb3, subw 0x0, time 8332772, (549,408), root:(1420,941),
    state 0x0, keycode 26 (keysym 0x65, e), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (65) "e"
    XFilterEvent returns: False



### Output with xfce4-settings 4.12 (key e doesn't work):

KeymapNotify event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  4294967219 0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

After going back competely to xfce 4.10 everything was okay again. And
only xfce4-settings with it dependencies listed below I'm able to
reproduce it.
