Only show keys when pressed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I really like this live keyboard app. I think it will be great once I start 
making GIMP tutorials. My only problem with it is that the blank keys/mouse 
stay around after I type them.  I would really like the keys to go away 
altogether after the set period of time.

The feature is already available although hidden.

If you pass the parameter --no-press-fadeout on the command line it'll remove 
the window after 1.0 seconds (you can change the value of course to 2.0 for two 
seconds, etc.).

key-mon --no-press-fadeout=1.0

It would be nice if the feature was not hidden. I think it would add a lot of 
value. Other apps like this one dont have many configurations a valuable in a 
GUI. This is why I like and use keymon. The terminal is grate but I think Linux 
needs to get away from the terminal only mentality. Users hate the terminal and 
that's why I think a lot of people don't use it.

Ok changing this to make the feature available in the settings pages.

So I just tried key-mon --no-press-fadeout=1.0

one other suggestion would be to only show the keys that are typed. for example 
right now I am typing this and key mon is running. I really don't need to see 
that I am not right clicking on the mouse.
