I consider myself an experienced user and had a very hard time figuring
out this. I have had this problem many times, and the only solution I
figured out until now was to reboot.
The problem is Slow Keys are being enabled in GDM even though I'm long
ago logged in, and that anti-feature should be
root@ignacio-laptop:/var/log/gdm# tail :0.log

Title:
slow keys can turn on surreptitiously cause
Sorry, I had to set this to confirmed as I think is a problem that
affects many people. The only request that many of us are doing is to
disable this function as default. This is my story:
Using: Xubuntu Quantal 32bits
I use one of my servers remotely using x11vnc + remmina. Sometimes it
happens
For a solution that worked for me, you can look at the comment linked
here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816764#c42
Pasting here:
Create a new file in /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/ with a number prefix (the highest one
in the directory, e.g. 01-no-a11y-keyboard) with the following content:
Yet another highly irritated Xfce user here. Just use gdm instead of

Title:
slow keys can turn on surreptitiously cause confusion.
I was hit by this on 12.04 with Xfce (not sure if this belongs in a
different bug), which doesn't seem to have any way to permanently
disable from its config panel. Took we a while to figure out how to
type at all in order to search for what I'd done -- and it was very
difficult to hold the key
My proposal is simple: just KILL this feature.
Rationale: just count number of related bug reports. It is constantly
causing problems. It's very hard to google properly (especially with
keyboard that types one character per second). Just recently I
discovered that Gnome 3 doesn't actually offer
Based on the very good points in the many comments, with regards to both Gnome

- marking as Critical or highest level
- tagging as 'keyboard' and ' usability'

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
Wrong solution, sorry: this works (for me!) I think there should be a faq about
this somewhere.
And that default behaviour should be changed.
The solution? To go into the settings for the assistive technologies:

can be
reboot and the same thing happened.
this time I removed 1 peripheral file at a time and the problem (for me)
is when you set the mouse to be left handed -- I don't recall changing
the cursor size. Removing this file fixed it so my input (from keyboard)
works. Here are the details:
Umm... never mind my last comment about the left_handed mouse... I
logged out and back and input worked with left-handed set (but not
cursor_size)
$ cat .gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/%gconf.xml
?xml version=1.0?
gconf
entry name=left_handed mtime=1280437857 type=bool value=true/
I have hit this bug before many times on previous versions of Ubuntu and
now on Lucid (10.04). Usually, I go to tty1 (CTRL+ALT+F1 works) and then
I kill compiz, which magically restores my keyboard and mouse input.
This time that didn't work so I left the window open and went to another
computer
I'll add my vote here, I inadvertently enabled this and even after

You can disable that feature permanently by unchecking the option
'Keyboard Preferences' - 'Allow to turn accessibility features on and
off from the keyboard'.

Since gnome is supposed to be within the open-source sphere, there MUST

The hold shift down hotkey on windows was one of my biggest pet peeves,

Confirmed. Having slow keys disabled by default is probably an acceptable
solution to this.
On the other hand, if you hold down the Shift key in Gutsy, a warning box
appears, which is also acceptable. Is this the case in Feisty and other older
versions?

slow keys can turn on
In feisty, a warning box appears. However, there are problems with it:
1. the warning box is not a normal window, so it is not visible with a
task button.
2. for some reason, it often appears underneath the currently focused
window, and that combined with the lack of a task button makes it
Right now, the only workaround is to disable all of the keyboard

I think that each of the accessibility features need an independent

This also still happens in Gutsy. I'd call this a MAJOR bug.
At the very least, PLEASE don't make the dialog turn the feature on unless you

Actually, it looks like setting the time to be zero actually disables

comes up, and the feature is effectively disabled even if it does
actually turn on. (dang, I wish we could edit posts, even if limited
to, say, 5 minutes
Hmm, it seems the time can only be set to zero when the feature is
enabled, and as soon as it is disabled in any way, it sets itself to 1
