My X keyboard control auto repeat was turned off. I saw with "xset q".

I fixed it by doing "xset r on".

I was building and testing pkgsrc for a new lletters package which uses
gdk_imlib and gtk.

So I searched for xset in the work directory. The lletters change log
says: "... using
        'xset r off' to turn off auto repeating keystrokes. I did some
        investigating, and am now doing this inside the game, using the
        gdk_key_repeat_disable/restore functions."

When lletters runs, it disables it :(

When it crashes, it stays disabled :(
