To get rid of the “release keys”button,

Quit Second Life
Go to your root second life directory (C:/Program Files/SecondLifeWindLight)
Go to skins/xui/en-us/
Look for a file named: panel_overlaybar.xml
Open it in a text-editor
Delete the following

<button bottom=”1″ follows=”left|bottom” font=”SansSerif” halign=”center” height=”20″
label=”Release Keys” label_selected=”Release Keys” left=”229″
name=”Release Keys” scale_image=”true”
tool_tip=”A script has taken control of your keys. Click here to release them.”
width=”102″ />
