key repeat on vnc

with vnc on kde 3.2, i often get weird behavior in that some keys are repeated several times. e.g. i would write

hello how are you

and it would come out

hellooo how aaaare you

anyone else seeing this?

I have been having the same problem primarily with KMail. Here's what I found:

I found that deleting ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc resolved the issue, but after some use the problem began to reappear. A diff of a problematic kmailrc against a pristine copy turned up (in the bad rc): [code:1][Composer]
Height 768=705
Width 1024=1025
--snip--[/code:1]
The Width parameter specifies 1025 against a screen width of 1024. Why this is happening, or why it causes the wierd kb repeat, I havn't yet discovered.

To fix, I simply reduce the composer window size, exit and restart KMail, and it's all better. It's no big deal keeping the composer window small, since line wraps negate the benefit of a maximized window. I haven't had a problem with any other apps, but you might check for a similar issue.
