I would like to add to what Colin has said - the problem still remains
in Ubuntu 8.04, and has in fact got worse in it. Sticky Keys keeps
getting deactivated EVEN IF two keys aren't pressed together. And even
if the box next to 'disable sticky keys if two keys are pressed
together' is UNCHECKED in the config dialog, it still keeps on
deactivating Sticky Keys anyway. The worst bit is that the prompt which
comes up ("You have just pressed two keys together..." with the activate
/ deactivate buttons) isn't able to grab focus from any currently opened
applications. I need to minimise all windows, and only then that dialog
box shows up. Even if I click the button to keep Sticky Keys activated,
it deactivates it anyway. The only way to get around this (as far as I
know) is to go to the accessibility options, and then deactivate and
activate Sticky Keys.

I have not encountered a similar problem in KDE distros. This problem
also exists in Xubuntu, and the symptoms are pretty much the same,
except that Xubuntu doesn't give a prompt before deactivating sticky
keys.
