On Wayland, XGrabKey via XWayland is not forwarded by most compositors.
The new Linux implementation tries evdev first (works on Wayland and X11
without compositor-specific support — requires 'input' group or systemd-logind
seat ACLs, which GNOME/KDE grant automatically). Falls back to X11 XGrabKey
for plain X11 sessions or when evdev devices aren't accessible. The log now
records which backend was selected.
