I think key-mon should be aware of accessibility feature such as sticky keys. #59

I often use this feature but it seems not reflected in key-mon.

Would it be acceptable to have this as an option to key-mon?

I would have to emulate what sticky keys seems to do.  My xlib class isn't 
picking up the events as "sticky" they must be treated at a different level.

Is my understanding of sticky keys correct?:
 - The shift key stays sticky until the next non shift like key is pressed.  Then it's no longer sticky.
 - The ctrl and alt keys remain sticky until you press ctrl/alt again.

My use case is this. Since I use sticky keys often, I have to know which key in 
which state. Otherwise, I might have press wrong key combination that could be 
fatal (destructive). I know this is not the primary purpose of key-mon. But for 
me, it would be nice feature :)

In my KDE, sticky keys behave like following.
- when one of the modifier keys (shift, ctrl, alt, meta/win) is pressed, it 
stays until another key is pressed.
- when one of the modifier keys is pressed twice it stays until that same key 
is pressed again no matter how many non-modifier keys are pressed.

Thank you.
