KDE forgetting keyboard repeat setting?

I have had problems in the past with KDE forgetting that I set it up to do the keyboard repeat thing. It went away though, and I haven't thought about it in a long time... until today. KDE3.0.4 forgot the setting. . So... why would KDE suddenly decide I didn't need keyboard repeat enabled? Is there some event I am triggering that toggles that particular setting to OFF in the Control Center? C.
