xcape not tracking key presses in terminal on Ubuntu 20.04 #134

Thanks for this tool. I've used it successfully on several ubuntu installs, and it's been a huge help for my workflow. I normally use xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape' while working on vim.

Recently, however, xcape stopped working in a terminal (including vim). Specifically, I am running

xcape -d -t 500 -e 'Control_L=Escape'

and running the terminal in another window. While typing this message out, I can actually see the debug working. I can even see the intercepted keys for caps lock:

But when I try to type in any terminal, I don't see any debug info being logged, much less the capslock. Not sure if this is a bug. Let me know if I can provide more information.

Never mind, looks like this is related to #67 -- I had switched to wayland, causing this weirdness.
