In Kubuntu-KDE4 Hardy Beta is even worse: after clean install if you launch systemsettings it tells you that numlock is turned on by default which is not the case. Maybe Kubuntu's default settings somehow interfere with KDE's defaults?
I have added the lines below to \usr\share\kubuntu-default- settings\kde4-profile\default\share\config\kcminputrc. After clearing user profile everything works fine. [Keyboard] KeyboardRepeating=true RepeatDelay=250 RepeatRate=25 NumLock=1 However this doesn't eliminate the problem itself. There can be another options suffering from this issue. -- Changing settings in Keyboard section causes Keyboard Repeat to delay https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49286 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is subscribed to kde-systemsettings in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
