Quite possibly it's the slow keys feature. I found that if I use gdm to log in, when you hold the shift key for several seconds, the slow key feature is turned on. When this happens, you have to press each key for a long time before it does anything. You can turn off slow key again by again holding the shift key for several seconds. I have since switched to lightdm. -- Sjoerd Mullender
