i'd say this is the most annoying kde bug to date, given how stable it is in the 3.5 \
series... just now i got my box killed by this problem. system was pretty loaded, and \
i accidentally hit win+p (instead of win+o), which makes amarok hide/appear. probably \
because of the load, something on the sending end thought that amarok did not receive \
this signal, so it repeated it. now, having amarok constantly show and disappear only \
contributed to the load, which in turn made it unable to receive the signals timely, \
which in turn made sender resend them again, which made amarok... so i had a blinking \
amarok window, huge system load and non-working keyboard.

might sound amusing, but annoyage factor was quite high.

1. can there be a central fix in kde ?
2. should there be anything fixed in xorg ? if so, i'll make sure to nag them as \
well; 3. can i somehow disable the resending of keyboard events ?
