[gentoo-user] OT: loooong delay with keyboard

[Matias Grana]

hi;
a mate at work is using KDE (actually, he has Slackware, not Gentoo,
but I guess it's the same). All of a sudden, a strange thing happened:
When he logs in his account, the keyboard has a really long delay (about
half a second) to echo each pressed key. So to write, say, 'no', he has
to press the 'n', hold it for 1/2 second, then the 'o', hold it for 1/2
second, and that's it.
This happens in only one account, the others are unaffected.

Does someone here know what the problem might be?

TIA,
Matias

Check for "SlowKeys=true" in [Keyboard] section of 
~/.kde/share/config/kaccessrc.

maybe

Control center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Accessibility -> Keyboard

Slow keys
 If this option is enabled, the user must hold the key down for a
specified period of time (adjustable with the slider) before the
keystroke will be accepted. This helps prevent accidental key strokes.
