Public bug reported:

I have VMWare 8 and dual monitors running separate X servers. Every hour
or so while writing code in Emacs, my keyboard key repeat will stop
functioning. I can re-enable it by opening the keyboard configuration
utility and unchecking/checking the key repeat box. I do not know
exactly what sequence of events causes it to occur.
