Description Daniel Walsh 2007-12-04 16:22:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
If I hold down a key in a focus window (gnome-terminal) and have the cursor over
a different window (emacs)

The keys will show up in both windows.

For example.  If I hold the Enter key down for a long time, I will get new lines
in both the window with focus and the window under the cursor.

 rpm -qf /usr/bin/X

 rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8

Seems to be fixed, even after setting the keyboard repeat rate to a very high
value.  The gnome keyboard properties that set repeat rates don't seem to be
functional, but xset still works.
