It's completely dropping keystrokes. I might type in the word 
"QSettings" and end up with something like "QStins". If I type slowly 
(maybe 4cps instead of my usual 10-15cps) I don't lose anything.

I'm using Gentoo Linux, 32-bit, 2.6.25 kernel; Qt/X11 4.4.2 (naturally 
Creator is using the 4.5.0 snapshot).

I suppose one difference between my home system and my work system is 
that my home system has scim-bridge installed, but I've not had any 
problems with it in other Qt4 applications like Arora or my own software.
