Hello :-)

I have debian testing on my new dell laptop, it has a number of specialkeys, play/pause, stop, forward and so on... I have made them useful with lineakd and it works, sort of... When i press one of the keys they are very sensitive and the result is that if I press play 5-7 instances of amarok will start op. Is there a way to lower their sensitivity?

well, the hackish solution is to use a wrapper script that checks for
the existence of an already running program (or maybe an instance of
the script already running, since it probably happens pretty fast) and
only allows one instance to be started.

I thought of that too, but it's just not very elegant. It would be nicer to slow the repeat down for those keys.
