           Summary: imsettings slows down frame rates significantly in
                    Linux Gaming. (10-30 FPS)
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 4
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

          Priority: low

Description of problem: The new release of imsettings-0.105.1-4.fc10 causes
games to slowdown 10-30 Frames Per Second.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

imsettings-0.105.1-4.fc10

How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter into World of Warcraft (My example), Log in.
2.Start Frames Per Second Counter (Ctrl+R)
3.Move or press any key or hold any key and frames will drop.

Actual results: The Game beings to slow down as keys are pressed or held.


Expected results: The Game should not experience any frame loss as a result of
a key press.  Especially not to the degree of 10-30 FPS.  Maybe only a couple
of frames maximum as the screen is processing new data when turning etc. 
imsettings inside of libgxim 3.1-1 functions properly in this respect, and was
the last known working version if imsettings.


Additional info:I was working with a developer and started the bug report
488976 because of this issue, and he decided it was working well enough for an
update release.  Before inside the games if you turned left, and let go, you
would continue to turn left and that wasn't supposed to happen.  With
sync_on_forward set to true with new version of imsettings-0.105.1-4.fc10, that
issue is fixed however there is now a regression in the fact that there is a
Frames per second loss when a key is pressed or held which results in a very
bad gaming experience.  Sometimes game slows to a crawl.  

I have a GeForce 8600 GT by Nvidia, dual core intel processor at 3.0 Ghz, 4GB's
of RAM running FC10 i386.  I did not experience this slowdown until
libgxim-0.3.2-4.fc10 package was released.

Starting new bug report to fix this regression.
