Thanks much for your help. I rebooted Win98 and was able to correct the subsequent slowdown by "Apply"ing a small change in keyboard repeat rate, as you had suggested (by the way, the setting in the Gnome Keyboard Properties Capplet hadn't changed after the reboot, just the repeat rate itself). I'm not sure what you mean by "coincidentally" -- it seems that there is a direct causal relationship between the Win98 reboot and the keyboard effect in RH, as I have marked the correlation at least a hundred times, and the RH effect has never occurred without being preceded by a Win98 reboot. Frustrating little trick, this.
