Excellent.
Now, if I could only find a way to turn this off programmatically, once
and for all. This X key repeat feature is completely unnecessary since
Windows handles key repeats for us. I tried to interface with the same
code that xset interfaces with, but it did not seem that this interface
was meant to be built into an X Server. Perhaps someone else can help
me figure out how to disable this. It could be a simple as a build
flag, but I have never come across it.
