xinput is still able to read all keys when xterm's secure keyboard is enabled.

Maybe it's time to look at prolog. :-) P.s: Sorry for the broken new-lines.

rows(Rs) :- maplist(all distinct,Rs).

columns(Rs) :- columns(9,Rs). columns(0,Rs). columns(N,Rs) :- N > 0, N1 is N-1, maplist(nth0(N1),Rs,X), all distinct(X), columns(N1,Rs).
