Dwayne,

Do you (or anyone else) know, how this option 'activate slow key' works
exactly with the X-server, i.e. how this delay is activated in the X?
While still investigating the problem when it occured in the laptop of
my wife, I even saw in xev(1) that the keystrokes are delayed sent
to the xev(1) client, i.e. the delay must be in X and not in KDE.
I've checked the man page of xset(1) but only see the delay and rate of
'auto repeat', but no config value for delay of key itself.

Thanks

	matthias
