Today, my keypress repeating stopped working. For example, I can't hold down a key and have it repeated. (Now I have to press the arrow key many times to move around.)
My X keyboard control auto repeat was turned off. I saw with "xset q".
I fixed it by doing "xset r on".
I was building and testing pkgsrc for a new lletters package which uses gdk_imlib and gtk.
So I searched for xset in the work directory. The lletters change log says: "... using 'xset r off' to turn off auto repeating keystrokes. I did some investigating, and am now doing this inside the game, using the gdk_key_repeat_disable/restore functions."
When lletters runs, it disables it :(
When it crashes, it stays disabled :(
Made lletters for pkgsrc. Imported into pkgsrc-wip.
