Apologies for the double post I should have added more information:
This is the most inconveniencing regression I see since upgrading to
Intrepid Ibex.
The problem is the worst in dialog boxes requiring entering a password.
Blind echo (circles/stars instead of the actual password char) is set to
echo 3-circles/stars per typed char. This used to be an option in KDE3,
now I don't see it anymore in System settings so I'm not sure how to
reset it to echo only one circle/star.
Unless I type _very_, _very_ slow (about one char per 2 seconds), my
password is being interpreted incorrectly due to missing some input
chars. i.e. some chars don't echo if I type faster.
Some more data from my system:
OS: Ubuntu 8.10 (Ibex) RC1 - with KDE 4

My keyboard repeat/delay/rate settings look correct in X, but the accepted
rate is nowhere near 50 chars/sec.
In reality, it looks about half that (about 24 chars/sec)
