I was just poking around the x11 driver for SDL and see that it
implements key repeat on its own. I know from past experience that
getting key repeat on x11 to work the way you expect is surprisingly
difficult to do and easy to do wrong... Sadly, it was long enough ago
that I no longer remember the details. :-(  Yeah, SDL does some
interesting stuff to keep from sending the repeated key over and over
and over again.
