Bug Description

In the Universal Access control, Typing, Repeat Keys, the Speed slider slows repeat rate when moved rightward, and increases repeat rate when moved leftward. This is opposite of typical expectations, and defies convention, where typically sliding a control rightward increases its setting. The volume control, for example, increases when slid rightward.
