I also ran in to this usability bug.
Which was very annoying, i as other didnt see any window popup before it was
activated.
I lost about 1 hour of work time just before a deadline. Because there was no
clue
that slow keys was enabled. I also tried reinstalling Xorg, an many other
workarounds
before accidently finding this thread / bugreport.
So many other people must have lost time, and being confused and done stuff
that could potentaially have damaged their systems.
Also i use openbox, (but tested out gnome) and therefore couldnt follow the
menu1 - menu2 - menuetc.
Hints some users have come up with.
I also experienced earlier that this dialog appeared and i pressed cancel or
escape, and i still got
slow keys. i couldnt repeat that before.
Funny note: ive experienced, similarly on windows xp.
were it turned on slow keys even though i answered no.
Is the accesibility feature copied, functionality wise from there?
So here is a work around for nearly all wm / Desktop managers users (KDE
also?)
+++
I was unable to turn off slow-keys in gconf-editor, but I have figured out
another way.
Go to: System-Preferences-Keyboard
at the bottom of the dialog box between Help and Close is
Accessibility...
press Accessibility
The Keyboard Accessibility Preferences window opens. Un-check Enable
keyboard accessibility features at the top of the box.
That's it. I haven't had the Slow Keys dialog question come back
I still miss some feedback from developers on this, since its very hard to
understand why this feature
is implemented like it is?

slow keys can turn on surreptitiously cause confusion.
