I filed a bug about this, but I've no idea what component to file

against, so it's against something fairly random:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816764
After updating Fedora 17 to latest a couple of days ago, my keyboard
keeps "dying".
In fact I found out that what's happening is an accessibility feature
called "slow keys" is getting activated. Unfortunately this is
activated silently, so there is no indication what has happened, nor
how to revert it. This is going to cause a lot of problems for less
technical users, since the only way out for them is to reboot.
Also, in the Accessibility menu, it shows that "slow keys" is
disabled. You have to enable and disable it (using the mouse) in
order to fix the bug.
And it keeps happening too ... It's happened twice already this
morning. I don't know what I am doing/pressing which starts this off.
I've also run into this, but been unsure whats causing it.
I'm running Xfce here, but it might be a gnome component thats causing
it. Slow keys is off in all the Xfce prefs and in Accessablity prefs...
but yet it's still turning on. ;(
It does pop up a notification, but it's still anoying.
I would be VERY happy to have a fix for this. ;)
