[gentoo-user] OT: loooong delay with keyboard

[Matias Grana]

hi;
a mate at work is using KDE (actually, he has Slackware, not Gentoo,
but I guess it's the same). All of a sudden, a strange thing happened:
When he logs in his account, the keyboard has a really long delay (about
half a second) to echo each pressed key. So to write, say, 'no', he has
to press the 'n', hold it for 1/2 second, then the 'o', hold it for 1/2
second, and that's it.
This happens in only one account, the others are unaffected.

Does someone here know what the problem might be?

TIA,
Matias

KDE Control Center  Regional ...  Accessibility  
Keyboard Filters  Slow Keys.

maybe

Control center - Regional  Accessibility - Accessibility - Keyboard

Slow keys
 If this option is enabled, the user must hold the key down for a
specified period of time (adjustable with the slider) before the
keystroke will be accepted. This helps prevent accidental key strokes.
