Now, if I could only find a way to turn this off programmatically, once

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.
Harold,
ISTR that the standard X servers have command line options to set keyboard
repeat up. Perhaps the code path those options use will be helpful?
