Ok, after a few days thinking about this issue, I came up with the only
non-conflicting solution I could imagine to activate an accesskey:

* With default config, you have to press & release ctrl, then the accesskey
itself.

* If StickyKeys is enabled, you have to press twice on ctrl (to "unstick"
ctrl), then the accesskey

* If StickyKeys is Lock StickyKeys are enabled, you must press three times on
ctrl(to "unstick" ctrl), then the accesskey.

The logic is always the same: the ctrl key must be pressed and released
 before pressing an accesskey.
Does that seem ok to you ?

PS:
To find out whether StickyKeys are enabled, I use the accessibility config
file "kaccessrc", so that I don't add dependency on X11 libs. I assume it's
ok...

Comments welcome
