[kde-freebsd] self missconfiguration of "Use slow keys"

[Dwayne MacKinnon]

I believe it's possible to activate slow keys just by holding some keys for 
longer then normal. A dialog box will ask to confirm, but depending on how 
you're typing, I can easily see someone hitting "enter" and accepting it 
without realizing.

Cheers,
DMK
