Title:
  "slow keys" can turn on surreptitiously & cause confusion.

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was editing some huge photos with the gimp and it had a swapping
  fit; I pressed various keys, clicked various things, generally did
  what any user does when an application hangs for a while.

  For some reason, gnome's "slow keys" feature turned on during all this
  chaos---presumably because gnome thought the shift key was held down
  for N seconds, I don't know---and I was totally confused when my keys
  became, predictably, "slow."

  This seems like something that could happen to dapper users. Maybe
  there should be a

    [x] Activate "slow keys" by holding down the shift key.

  config toggle that is off by default, or something...
