By doing a quick brute-force search of all of the /dev nodes on a test X desktop, I discovered that the atime of the /dev/ttyN node that is running the X session is updated when keypress / keyrelease events occur. So all I've needed to do is add the first 10 or so of the /dev/ttyN device nodes to the CONDOR_DEVICES configuration pragma -- which, here, currently looks like this: CONSOLE_DEVICES = mouse, console, psaux, input/mice, tty0, tty1, tty2, tty3, tty4, tty5, tty6, tty7, tty8, tty9 This has proven very effective in practice; we've been running Condor on Ubuntu in this way without special kernel patches for a good few months now.
