      So the fix for chests (drop them) seems ok to me. For the keys we should

  Yep - that seems to be the better fix.  Right now, I notice it doesn't even 
generate new coordinates if it can't find a keymaster monster.  It just uses the 
last coordinate chosen at random, which very well could be a solid wall.

  Looking for free spots some 10 or 15 times, both for a keymaster, and then for 
a free spot, is probably quite reasonable.  Some random maps are very sparse in 
terms of number of monsters starting on the map, and thus could still have lots 
of open space, but not many monsters to give the key to.  So better logic of 
finding an free space is definately needed.
