After upgrading to x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.0 keys stop send reapet signals to xorg-server. So, for example, to delete world I need press and unpress backspace for every letter. My keybord is Microsoft NEK 4000. I use x11.stable.list from http://bugs.gentoo.org/251832 bug for package.keywords and xfce 4.6 rc1 from xfce-dev overlay.
