screenkey 1.5

New LockScreen detection from Marc Lavallée prevents passwords from being shown right after unlocking the screen when possible (new dbus dependency required).
Keypad number keys are now displayed correctly (thanks to @Gordin508).
Additional mouse buttons are now shown as “M[x]” instead of being incorrectly displayed as Ctrl/Alt modifiers (@Gordin508).
The new --window command line flag allows to display screenkey as a regular window instead of an overlay. This can be useful for recording screenkey as an independent overlay during screencasts and/or to manage the window position through the window manager.
New German translation thanks to Maik Schmalle.
Fix regression that would keep the overlay visible when using Ctrl sequences with the mouse visualization disabled.
Fix regression causing a backtrace instead of a proper error message during initialization errors.
Fix crash happening due to screen size and/or resolution changes while screenkey is running.
Prettify JSON configuration file (thanks to Mehrad Mahmoudian).

Correctly stay above fullscreen windows.
