speakup and vim problem with key echo

[Steve Holmes]

Yes, this has been a known problem for some time; not sure how it can
be fixed.  What's strange on my ArchLinux system is the old vi program
(which I think is elvis) does not exhibit this problem.  But I like
vim better for its more extensive feature set.
