This is a two-part reply to Bryce Harrington's comment #294.

1.) I really have to take issue with your statement that "it's a minor
annoyance (rather than an X lockup or crash)". When the key that gets
stuck is "Delete", for instance, this has the potential to wipe out
entire directories, and the consequences when the key in question is
Enter are utterly unpredictable. Furthermore, for instances of the bug
when subsequent key presses/releases are ignored and the key remains
stuck, the result - a reboot and loss of unsaved data - is preceisely
what would occur if X locked up or crashed.

2.) You ask people "to file *new* bugs and be very specific about the
issue (with exact steps to reproduce, up to date logs, etc.)". Would it
be sufficient to run

ubuntu-bug xorg

referencing bug 124406, and then

apport-collect (number of new bug)

or is there any more information you would need that would not be
supplied by this? (if so, please specify what this would be.)

Thanks,

James McLaughlin.
