Ubuntu and keyboard key repeat issue

For a while now, I've tolerated the issue of playing Wine games and having problems with the keyboard key repeats. This involved getting killed in Mass Effect and crashing cars in Colin McRae 2005. So, I thought I should dig up on this issue and see just what the hell is happening.

As it turns out, this is caused by a known Xorg bug in Ubuntu 9.04 (lucky me). This discussion thread provides all the details that you need to know on the issue. What I did to alleviate the issues on my end is:

System > preferences > keyboard > key repeat
