Auto key repeat in wayland.

Hi,

Seems that weston uses a client side keyboard auto-repeat that is
HARD-CODED in `window.c` and I haven't seen anywhere in wayland's
mentioning how this should be done in wayland. There doesn't seem to
be a place where the client can get a recommended repeat delay and
frequency from the server either. Does it mean each program/toolkit
will then have it's own key repeat setting or even hard coded in the
code that cannot be change without a recompiling (and in either case
it is not possible to set it globally anymore)???

Why can't this be done in the server or shouldn't a least a
recommended value that can also be set from client be added?
