I replied of list before, But ill relate my problems now, I remeber a little bit more now. I was using a toshiba laptop last year whilst I was on a contract job. I was running redhat 7.3 and after installing gnome 2 through ximian desktop. I found the described problem. I also installed redhat 8.0 on the machine and still had the problem.
I found that I could make it go away by restarting the xserver (this happens when you logout). I also found that some times, whilst messing with the gnome-controlcenter's controls for key repeats I could get it working again (some times) or messing with the setting for key repeat with gconf-editor. I had to give up the laptop untill I figured it out. I dont think I saw the problem whilst using kde on the machine. I would be willing to be its gnome.
