It seems to me that what is being asked for is that XKB support is kept
but its default configuration (delay, repeat rate, etc.) is whatever
Windows is currently set to. I think this makes very good since - if I
really want a repeat rate different for X applications I can configure
it, otherwise it should be the same as it is on all my other Windows
apps.
From the above comments it looks like Alexander understood this but
Harold thought everyone was asking to remove XKB support and go back to
using Windows autorepeat. Forgive me if I misread you, Harold.
