PickKeyboard has one side-effect: if no ClientPointer is assigned yet, it'll
assign the selected one to this client. In this case, this is a noop, as
PickPointer has done so already anyway.

If we didn't have the PickPointer() call it'd still be wrong, as we shouldn't
force a ClientPointer if we don't need one right now anyway.

Cheers,
