I've been experiencing a fairly annoying key bounce problem with almost any X client that takes keyboard input running against XWin on my XP box. The problem rears its ugly head the most when running xterm. I searched the archive for this list for "xterm", "debounce", "keyboard", etc but couldn't find a message with a solution.
The keyboard code for XWin appears to ignore xset's "r" option, likewise it appears to ignore XKEYBOARD args such as -ar1 as detailed on the Xserver man page. The keyboard code doesn't ignore XP's keyboard control settings however. I modified Control Panel->Keyboard->Repeat Delay to be one notch slower and the keyboard bounce problems magically went away. This fix obviously modifies the behavior of the keyboard for every Windows app, but since I spend 99% of the time inside XFree86 I'm quite happy with it. :-) I don't know if this fix applies to anything other than XP, but I thought I should subscribe to this list and get this message into the archive in case someone else runs into the same problem down the road.
