Title:
  gdm ignores keyboard input because Slow Keys was secretly turned on

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  This seems to have recently broken on natty: gdm starts up, but
  ignores keyboard input, so I cannot log in.

  lsusb shows that the keyboard is attached.  A usb mouse plugged into
  the keyboard moves the pointer around.  Xorg.0.log shows that the
  keyboard is seen and connected as an input device.  I tried with a
  different keyboard and a different usb port with no success.  I ssh'd
  into the machine and shut down gdm, and the keyboard does then work to
  log in on a text console, but it again does not work when I restart
  the machine.  I can use the mouse to start the accessible keyboard but
  clicking on that does not help either.
