So, on previous installs of ubuntu, David's solution has worked for me. (previous versions: hardy64, intrepid64, netbook-remix-lpia) but it's just stopped working on my latest install (intrepid i386 + netbook- remix).
gconf-editor reports as expected - that stickykeys_two_key_off is unticked, and stickykeys_enable is ticked. However - stickykeys is not enabled, unless I turn it on via the gnome accessibility preferences panel. stickykeys_two_key_off always behaves as if turned on, regardless of settings in either gconf or the Accessibility panel. I notice this bug also appears in Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511999 Not having stickykeys is, quite literally, a major pain for me. Looks like it's time to give KDE a whirl.... -- gnome sticky keys ignores "two keys pressed together" setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191181 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
