It is one of the new features in Mavericks. It puts applications in a
"nap" state if they do not have any visible windows and isn't otherwise
doing something productive, such as playing music, etc. Information
here:

<http://www.apple.com/osx/advanced-technologies/>

I would guess that in the case of Quickeys, the OS is mistakenly
putting the application in a non-responsive state and it can no longer
respond to key presses.

I have a similar problem with the scroll ring on one of my two
Kensington scroll balls. The one under Lion works fine; the one under
Mavericks does not: it doesn't do anything at first, then scrolls too
far when it finally wakes up.
