I've also run into this, but been unsure whats causing it. 

I'm running Xfce here, but it might be a gnome component thats causing
it. Slow keys is off in all the Xfce prefs and in Accessablity prefs...
but yet it's still turning on. ;( 

It does pop up a notification, but it's still anoying. 

I would be VERY happy to have a fix for this. ;)
