(Get the code!)
The bug is still there even after patching the kernel.
in my case I noticed that the bug shows up more frequently when the clock of the cpu changes (cpufreq) around the same time as a keydown or keyup event. Somehow X misses one of them. Moreover, sometimes pressing a key does not give any output, meaning that this time X is not receiving the keydown event.
This would give an explanation at why the problem is related to CPU-intensive processes such as compiz, firefox et cetera.
Can you confirm this? Does anybody else miss keydown events? I am now going to check if fixing the frequency helps.
