Bug description:
  After a default install on a Dell T7500 (probably not relevant), I
  found that key presses did not repeat when a key was held down.  I
  checked the setting in the Keyboard control panel, and it was ENABLED.
  I googled it and found this:

  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1068482

  So it would seem this has been around for a while?

  For me, deselecting the "Key presses repeat when key is held down" and
  then reselecting it fixed the problem immediately.

  
  1.  Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
  Release:	11.10

  2.  Whatever comes by default

  3.  I expected key presses to repeat when a key is held down (by
  default).

  4.  Instead, holding a key caused a single keystroke.
