key repetition problems w/G2 (experimental)

[Norbert Kiesel <nkiesel@tbdnetworks.com>]

Hi,
since about two days I notice severe keyboard repetition problems in
Gnome2. This seems to be especially bad with combined keys (e.g.
ctrl-PgUp).

Easy way to reproduce:

start gnome-terminal, resize it to full-screen, open a few tabs
(ctrl-shift-t), then scroll through them with ctrl-PgUp/ctrl-PgDn).  I
never can just jump to the very next tab - I always end 2 or three tabs
away.

It somehow seems to be related to the "switching speed": the problem
goes away if I make the gnome-terminal smaller because the redraw of the
next terminal takes less time.

Please also remember that this is not a gnome-terminal problem but a
general problem (similar e.g. in xemacs21-gnome, does not happen in
xemacs21 (without gnome)).

I'm running a very recent mixture of unstable/experimental (i.e.
"apt-get -t experimental gnome2", experimental pinned to priority 500).
