The bug is fully understood and fully fixed, but it's quite complicated,
as it involves multiple components, specifically, the interaction
between X and kernel auto-repeat. That's also why the suggested
workarounds are quite different, and, presumably, why the devs are not
keen to backport the fix to Intrepid, though personally I think putting
out a distro in which 99% of users will conclude that autorepeat is
broken is very unfortunate, and not fixing it is really dumb from a PR
perspective, if nothing else. But maybe it doesn't register in the big
picture.
