For me (using Fluxbox), the solution is to add the following to the
keyboard's InputDevice section in xorg.conf:

Option         "AutoRepeat" "250 30"

Turning off AutoAddDevices is not necessary with this change.

To summarize some points:

* With or without AutoAddDevices, something is resetting the keyboard delay and 
rate during X startup. This is not desirable. It is a new development.
* I can override the values by manually adding the "AutoRepeat" setting to 
xorg.conf.
* When AutoAddDevices is enabled, using "xset r rate..." is ineffective.
* When AutoAddDevices is disabled, using "xset r rate..." does work.

I am not using Gnome or KDE - I use Fluxbox. I suspect that Gnome will
reset the keyboard, so turning of  "AutoAddDevices" is a sufficient
solution for Gnome users. It is not a complete solution for users of
Fluxbox.
