       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)

Description:
For Asscessibility GNOME has a slow-keys feature that allows the use of
the keyboard without having to hold down modifier keys such as shift or
ctrl in combination with the main key.

This is activited by holding down the 'shift' key for more than 8
seconds.  At this point the slow-keys dialogue is loaded and grabs all
further keyboard input.  However it is currently popped up *underneath*
other windows (in the "background") leading to confusion about why the
keyboard has stopped functioning.

The only way to get out of this is to use the pointer to raise the
dialogue from the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and then press the
OK key.
