Comment 19 for bug 278839

Chris,

`killall gnome-settings-daemon` has the same effect. The key releases are generated but not as multiple repeating events as observed in the original report.

KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x1a00002, time 175803, (51,43), root:(1062,732),
    state 0x0, keycode 67 (keysym 0xffbe, F1), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x1a00002, time 186995, (51,44), root:(1062,733),
    state 0x0, keycode 69 (keysym 0xffc0, F3), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Thanks,
