VNC / X Server not responding to continuous key presses

I've noticed that the VNC server distributed with Fedora Core 9 does not
respond to continuous key-presses (e.g. hold down a key and expect to see
the character displayed continuously on the display).  This did not occur in
Fedora Core 8.  I've seen this behaviour on the PPC and x86-64 distribution
of Core 9.  I've also used three different VNC clients (RealVNC, TightVNC,
and Chicken of the VNC) and seen the same results, so I seriously doubt it's
a client issue.

I've installed the current release of VNC server for Core 8 on my Core 9
system and saw the same behavior.  This has lead me to believe that it's not
a problem with VNC as much as a problem with the X server.  Has anyone else
seen this problem?  Any ideas on how to correct it?  It's mostly a nuisance,
but one that I'd like to fix!
