Is there documentation about how the input subsystem wants to handle autorepeat? (ie how UI frontends should present repeating keys to it, and how keyboard backends should expect to see repeating keys delivered from it). There's been discussion on this in another thread about xenfb and vnc... Also I think it would be nice to have written up what the "expected" set of hotkeys for UI frontends are, so we can be consistent. I think SDL and gtk are different about what their ungrab keycombo is, for instance. (I've been assuming gtk is the "this is the right behaviour" exemplar to follow.) thanks -- PMM
