    Greetings;

    for the last 3 or 4 minor revisions, and 3 different kde installs I
    have had a situation wherein the keyboard repeat goes down to less
    than 1 per second, making it very difficult to go back and fix the
    typu's my ancient fingers inevitably make. The effect came and went
    at seemingly random times.

    I hadn't noticed the effect during the approaches to final, -rc4 in
    particular maintained its snappiness from the keyboard very well.

    This is not accompanied by an observable amount of cpu usage either.
    But its back, sometimes non-stop for several minutes at a time with
    -final. I have NDI where to look, so I'll leave that to those that
    breath src code in their sleep. In this sense, I'm a dumb beta
    tester making a use/feel report.

    -- 
    Cheers, Gene
