Yes, I have exactly this problem, specifically on F17. But SlowKeys
gets turned on at random, and isn't related to holding down the shift
key. Apparently, it's not a bug in the X server itself:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816764#c36

But I have no idea what's turning SlowKeys on. It's yet another factor
that contributes to F17 providing the worst out of the box user
experience of any Fedora release to date.
