If you access a machine running a vnc server such as vino which is has the Gnome
keyboard feature 'SkickyKeys' enabled, you get serious lock-ups, like not being
able to type things into a terminal. The Mouse seems to react poorly as well.
Switching off StickyKeys resolves the problem.

If you are a user of sticky keys, you generally shouldn't need to run it on the
remote machine (but rather on the local one where you have the vnc client). The
issue was discovered when trying to test GOK accross a vnc connection. GOK
switches on SkickyKeys by default (which I consider to be a GOK useability
issue, which I'll report elsewhere).

I logged this bug under 'vino' but it might of course be a StickyKeys bug (what
package is that in?)

This was tested on breezy.

No it does not happen when you use the machine directly. Even when
both StickyKeys and vino are enabled everything seems to behave itself. It's
first when to start sending inputs from the remote machine that keys get stuck
when they shouldn't.
