KDE 4.4.85 (KDE 4.5 Beta2).
while testing this useful system setting, I notice that the option "Repeat action if button is held down" doesn't seem to work properly: even if I have deselected this option, if I map the mute button with kmix template, the mute action is repeated several times causing mute/unmute in the same time without changing at the end the mute state (I see the volume led blinking). All works fine if I press the "Test" button from kremotecontrol configuration dialog.

All works fine if I press the "Test" button from kremotecontrol configuration dialog.
To remark, if I use the lircrc config file ($ irexec <pathto lircrc>) with the following syntax:

begin
        prog=irexec
        remote=HP_HDX16
        button=KEY_MUTE
        config=qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixer0 org.kde.KMix.toggleMute Master:0
        repeat=0
        delay=5
end

everything works fine and an irw output for example is:

$ irw
000000037ff07bf1 00 KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
000000037ff07bf1 01 KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
000000037ff07bf1 02 KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
000000037ff07bf1 03 KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
000000037ff07bf1 04 KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
000000037ff07bf1 05 KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
000000037ff07bf1 06 KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
000000037ff07bf1 07 KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
000000037ff07bf1 08 KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
000000037ff07bf1 09 KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
000000037ff07bf1 0a KEY_MUTE HP_HDX16
.....

if I held down the mute button. So lirc seem to works fine.

Thank you for your support.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
System Settings->Input Devices->Remote Controls, select your remote control then select "Automatically create actions using a profile" -> Sound Mixer, will be created three functions. Select function "Toggle Mute", "Edit Action" then under options you'll see that "Repeat action if button is held down" is unchecked but really the mute action is repeated as described above.


Actual Results:  
mute action doesn't work. mute led blinking.
