It might be nice, but the Windows autorepeat caused problems with systems running in Japanese... so they need the XKB autorepeat functionality, since the Windows autorepeat needs to be disabled for them. So, we can't just remove XKB support or disable it permanently... it is required by some non-U.S. users. It may seems like we are being indecisive here... but there are really a lot of concerns that need to be considered in order to get a correct solution. Harold
