snes9x-gtk injects ^@ into konsole once per second unless "Pause emulation when switching away from Snes9x" is enabled

[GoogleCodeExporter]

snes9x-gtk injects ^@ into the active Konsole/Yakuake window once per
second unless "Pause emulation when switching away from Snes9x" is enabled.
It may also do it with other windows, but I haven't observed ^@ appearing
in xterm or terminal (not sure whether it's GNOME or Xfce) so I can't be sure.

The simplest way to reproduce the problem is to leave Snes9x unpaused, open
up Konsole or Yakuake, and run "cat". (I noticed it while using emerge, but
I suspect apt-get would also exhibit the same behaviour)

It's picking up the fake key press from the screensaver disabling option. I'll 
add a
combo box to add different methods of disabling the screensaver and set the 
default
to not use the key press, as well as fix this so as to not send the key press 
when
unfocused.

You might want to try using `xdg-screensaver suspend <WindowID>` (just once) if 
the
command is present on the user's system.

It's intended as a desktop agnostic way to disable the screensaver until the X11
window with the given ID is gone.

Added the focus fix to trunk.
