String input behaviour

[David Leangen <gnome leangen net>]

Hello!

I'm using Gnome on my Linux box. Any time my machine does any
processing, my GUI goes berserk. For instance, pressing a key once will
cause it to be input several dozens of times, the mouse click events
occur randomly even if I don't click the mouse, and so on.

Is this a known problem? Did I happen to install a bad version or
something?
