i noticed that one of the patches reduced AUTOREPEATDELAY (in
ddx/sun/sun.h) from 100 to 50. i still find the value of 50 to be
too slow. adam r de boor had suggested a value of 20--i had been
using this successfully and it has a better "feel" to it. please
consider reducing the value of 50 to 20 in future releases.

It seems to me that what X11 really needs is an extension to the
ChangeKeyboardControl request for changing the AUTOREPEATDELAY. This
would be easy to do in an upward compatable way, because it's one of
those value-mask requests.
