Disable AutoSlow Keys in gdm

Now it's Linux Mint Maya (-> Ubuntu -> Debian)

Sometimes during work slow key are suddenly on. That means, that to print a symbol you must hold on a keyboard button for a few seconds, it's a bit annoying. For the first few times it's not even annoying - it looks like keyboard is down.

So, the source of troubles is accessibility possibilities of Gnome Desktop Manager or, shortly, gdm. It wait while you hold shift button for more than 10 seconds and then enables slow keys. You can revert this process by holding shift button for more than 10 seconds again, but it's not as much interesting.

To disable accesibilities you can try:

1. GNOME: Press Alt+F2, enter gconf-editor. Navigate to /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard, uncheck “enable” to disable all accessibility options.

2. gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/a11y-keyboard/active true

Both methods didn't help in my situation. So, I installed lightdm (sudo apt-get install lightdm) and made it default DM. Then reboot (not a best way, but fastest) and problem is gone.
