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.
