If you never pressed any key -- your keyboard is crap or there's some problem in the driver. ...in both of these cases the message is actually useful. Where it is not useful is when cat walks over your keyboard, because you can actually expect this message when pressing 10 keys at once. ...in both of these cases failure should be investigated to find out what is going on. OTOH for example I now know that capslock-x-c is combination X32 does not like. Unfortunately, if you swap capslock and ctrl, and type too fast... you'll press this combination while exiting emacs.
