VNC / X Server not responding to continuous key presses

[Scott Kidder]

FYI, this has been resolved since installing vnc-server-4.1.2-31 from
Fedora-Updates.  This coincided with an update to the xorg-x11-* packages,
so those updates could have been responsible for the fix, too.  In any case,
I'm very grateful this has been corrected! :)
