[Bug 97178] gnome "slow keys" "feature" won't go away

[Alex Mauer]

Public bug reported:

On feisty.

I use a couple of programs which require that you hold down shift a lot.
Unfortunately this triggers gnome's offer to enable the "Slow keys"
"feature".  I don't want slow keys, but there's no way to indicate this.
I can tell it not to activate the "feature" but it will just ask again
next time I hold down shift.

And I can't turn off the accessibility features completely or my keys
don't repeat when they're held down (WTF?).

What's the point of having these accessibility enabling "shortcuts"?

The discoverability is very low (I don't know of anyone who would think
"How can I make it so my keys don't activate for 3/10 seconds after
they're pressed...I know, I'll hold down shift for awhile, that'll
probably do it!")

Combined with bugs #31720, #65920, and #65921 I think this dialog is a
good candidate for "worst dialog ever"
