I do not like much that we added a just another loop that fills in
the event array here. Maybe we should rewrite this as a recursive
descent parser now.

I.e.

	while (have_events()) {
		ev = next_event();

		switch (ev.type)
		case EV_REP:
			parse_rep(ev);
		break;
		case EV_KEY:
			parse_key(ev);
		break;
	}


The parse_rep() would check that we got correct sequence of
configuration events and the parse_key() would check that we have a
correct sequence of key press events, i.e. key down (1) a few key repeat
(2) and key up (0), which would be something as:

parse_key()
{
	if (!check_event(ev, EV_KEY, KEY_X, 1))
		tst_res(TFAIL, ...);

	ev = next_event();

	if (!check_event(ev, EV_KEY, KEY_X, 2))
		tst_res(TFAIL, ...);

	do {
		ev = next_event();
	} while (!check_event(ev, EV_KEY, KEY_X, 2);

	if (!chek_event(ev, EV_KEY, KEY_X, 0))
		tst_res(TFAIL, ...);
}

What is this here for? Shouldn't all the configuration events be read at
this point?
