Bug Description
This is only a suggest, and also I'm not sure if it should be the proper package to notify this suggest to.
I've had to restart X-Window more from time to time just because the keyboard "got frozen". I tought it was an X server fault or so, but today I discovered that the gestures for the sticky keys were enabled. When I was selecting text using SHIFT+ARROWS for more than 8 seconds... sticky keys got enabled and the keyboard "stop responding" (of course, it only was performing the proper action of waiting until some key was pressed for some time before issuing the actual keystroke to the applications).
What I'd suggest is to enable the notification dialog by default when a sticky keys gesture is detected. This should save a lot of time to unaware users like me.
Thank you very much for your attention.

In Intrepid and Jaunty if you hold down shift for long enough it will open up a dialog asking if you want to enable sticky keys, so I'd consider this fixed.
