Hi,
currently xset can segfault when trying change the repeat rate using XKB.
The problem is a missing null-pointer check and the fix is a one-liner appended below.
I have no idea whether this is only an linux x86 issue since that is the
only X-platform with XKB I have access to. Since the null pointer is
dereferenced I can't see how this patch could break another platform.
This problem has been at least in versions 4.2.0, 4.2.1 and was still in a
CVS snapshot yesterday. And I am starting to get tired of fixing it
in every X version I upgrade to :-)
