It seems to me that what is being asked for is that XKB support is kept but its default configuration (delay, repeat rate, etc.) is whatever Windows is currently set to. I think this makes very good since - if I really want a repeat rate different for X applications I can configure it, otherwise it should be the same as it is on all my other Windows apps. >From the above comments it looks like Alexander understood this but Harold thought everyone was asking to remove XKB support and go back to using Windows autorepeat.
