OK, do you know how to set the option StickKeys?  I am using XFree
version 3.3.3.1 which I assume is the latest version.

I tried putting lines in /etc/XF86Config: for example
   XkbOptions      "StickKeys"
in the Section "Keyboard"
but nothing seemed to work.  I did a global search on the source for 
X, and I could find references to StickyKeys, and stickykeys, but 
not StickKey.  I tried both of these.

I can find no documentation on this anywhere.  You seem to be very
much better with these search engines than I am.

Thanks, Stephen
