With automatic logon first keypress switches key repetition back on

[Erik Devriendt]

Package: gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5.2+langfixes~lucid1
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (up to date)

We have following situation:
- GDM configured with timed automatic login
- FVWM session with automatic execution of the 'xset r off' command during startup to switch off keyboard repeat.
We have proof that the xset command is executed properly because 'xset q' commands afterwards
show that the keyboard repeat really is switched off.

Pressing any keyboard key automagically switches the keyboard repetition back on.

This phenomenon also happens with the 'xterm' session. In that case switching off and verifying the keyboard
repetition has to be done via a console (Shift+Alt+F1).

Pressing a key before the automatic logon timer expires avoids the phenomenon.

This phenomenon was not present in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

This phenomenon causes problems for using this Ubuntu version as base for Kiosk applications
