[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#527238: xfce4-settings: xfce4-keyboard-settings does not change repeat delay
Package: xfce4-settings
Version: 4.6.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Since I updated to version 4.6.1, my keyboard repeat delay is very
slow. I cannot set the delay via the xfce4-keyboard-settings dialog.
It is possible to adjust the keyboard repeat rate via this dialog, but
the slider for the delay has no effect at all. It is possible to set
the delay via "xset r rate" on the command line, but if I add such a
line to my .xsessionrc, the setting is later overwritten by the XFCE
setting. So it seems XFCE *can* set the keyboard delay, it just does
not use the value I set in the dialog.
This is the contents of my ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboards.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<channel name="keyboards" version="1.0">
<property name="Default" type="empty">
<property name="KeyRepeat" type="bool" value="true">
<property name="Delay" type="int" value="840"/>
<property name="Rate" type="int" value="50"/>
</property>
</property>
<property name="DefaultKeyRepeat" type="empty">
<property name="Delay" type="int" value="10"/>
</property>
</channel>
Oh, well, looking at this file the error seems to be pretty obvious --
did not do this before :)
So here is a patch:
