Are you (both those with the issue and those for whom the issue has 
cleared up) running gnome-screensaver?

With r19222, we only run gnome-screensaver-command once every 30 seconds 
at most and only if gnome-screensaver is running (with prior versions, 
we attempted to run it on every remote keypress--whether 
gnome-screensaver was running or not) and it seems that either the 
buildup of system calls or gnome-screensaver-command itself caused the 
issue.  So--if it's just gnome-screensaver-command causing the 
problem--you could still get the delay once every 30 seconds or so, but 
only if you're running gnome-screensaver.

Good advice.  It is >19222, right?
