I consider myself an experienced user and had a very hard time figuring
out this. I have had this problem many times, and the only solution I
figured out until now was to reboot.
The problem is "Slow Keys" are being enabled in GDM even though I'm long
ago logged in, and that anti-feature should be
root@ignacio-laptop:/var/log/gdm# tail :0.log
(II) XKB SlowKeys are now enabled. Hold shift to disable.

Additional comment: I can confirm that "Accessibility features can be
toggled with keyboard shortcuts" was unticked once I logged in. But I'm
not sure if this is a user-by-user preference.

I think having an Accessibility icon appear when an accessibility
function is enabled (similar to the Caps Lock icon when Caps Lock is on)
is a simple solution to this issue. Having just lost half a day's work
trying to track down the cause, I can say I would've appreciated a small
clue.

In gdm, when you hold down the shift key for 8 seconds, Slow Keys gets
turned on *silently*.
In a user session, #41427 is a known issue that the pop-up notification
about this sometimes is invisible because it is behind other windows,
and that the default is to enable Slow Keys if there is no user
This does not appear to have anything to do with slow keys persisting
after being set in a user session.
Slow Keys is now always in effect on the natty gdm login screen on this
system, even though neither I nor any other user on this system has ever
used it during a regular session as far as anyon
ironically a pulsing accessibility icon may be difficult for people with
some kinds of accessibility constraints, such as a constrained field of
vision.
if caps lock is on, we show a message. perhaps we should do the same
for this.

Could the Accessibility icon pulse or something to indicate that
accessibility options are on?
That could at least give a user a visual clue.
