I discovered that setting the rate of the keyboard with 'kbdrate' also affects
the behaviour in X.  It seems like the X server stops it's own autorepeat as
soon as it sees the first repeated scancode from the keyboard.  When the delay
is set very high with 'kbdrate', it takes that long before X starts to misbehave.

Thus, for those who can disable autorepeat in their keyboards, that may be a
workaround.  Otherwise, if you are lucky, your keyboard has a usable autorepeat,
and you can disable software repeat by setting the delay high with 'xset' as
explained by M. Rosbacke.  (Unfortunately, neither solution is feasible on my
Kinesis keyboard.)
