D-Bus messages arrive asynchronously. xd_read_queued_messages() converts
them into special events, which are stored via kbd_buffer_store_event().

gobble_input() is used, because it is called at several places, for
instance in sit_for(), kbd_buffer_get_event(), get_input_pending(),
ns_select() - D-Bus messages shall be handled as soon as they arrive.
