The keyboard repeat rate and delay are adjusted. Great! CTRL-D and exit that

The new repeat/delay settings are gone (?!?!?!), keyboard is slow/delay is
long-ish again!

Due to a long ago design decision that was encoded in the protocol spec,
when the last client disconnects from the X server it resets everything
to default settings.

You could avoid this by:
 - not disconnecting all clients - leave a window manager, xclock, xlogo, etc.
   connected.
or
 - starting the X server with the "-noreset" flag to disable this feature

See the Xserver(1) man page for details.
