This also still happens in Gutsy. I'd call this a MAJOR bug.
At the very least, PLEASE don't make the dialog turn the feature on unless you press YES! What's worse is that even pressing escape does NOT disable the feature. I've finally had to set the slowkeys time to 1 millisecond, in order to essentially disable it.
ooOOOOOOOOtttttttttttttthhhhhhhhheeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssseeeee,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I end up typing like that, because I have to hold the key, and then react in time to let go before it repeats. Also notice that slowkeys breaks function keys. Try hitting alt-tab with it enabled, and notice that the 'alt' is entirely missing, unless you continue holding 'tab' while releasing and re-pressing 'alt'. Because the slowkeys confirmation box does not appear in the taskbar, it becomes ridiculously hard to find the window to tell it "NO!".
