Bug Description
I often use onboard from a distance, triggering it via compiz's hotcorners feature. On those occasions when I've accidentally hidden onboard with one or more modifiers (e.g. Ctrl + Alt) locked, I am left with few means of interacting with my system (as with Ctrl + Alt locked, all of my keyboard shortcuts and hotcorners won't work). I can't even unhide onboard to unlock the modifiers in questions.
I would suggest that as a matter of good practice, when onboard is hidden, it should automatically release all locks.

Actually, all pressed, latched or locked keys, except for NumLock are supposed to be released on exit. Same when killing the process with SIGTERM. I just tried it here with trunk and it still seems to do it.
Very old versions of Onboard, might not clean up properly though. What version do you have installed?
