Comment 17 for bug 272293

I have this annoying bug too. The "keys repeat" stops working (it seems to stop randomly) even if the "keys repeat" checkbox stays checked. More info:

- Ubuntu 8.10

- Gnome 2.24.1

- I don't have synergy installed

- I don't have any desktop effects activated

- I don't use NVidia proprietary driver
