 Sorry, identical behaviour, Alt, Ctrl, Shift all send a continuous stream
 of events. I can also eliminate the VM / my Mac HW setup from this. If I
 run xev from the VM F11 terminal the keys do not auto-repeat (just a key
 down and key up event). If I run xev from inside sugar-jhbuild, the Alt,
 Ctrl, Shift all send a continuous stream of events.
