Thanks, Harald, for the
20-xset-rate.sh script. Seems to work nicely now, and it should make the X11 experience a bit simpler for those "average" users.

Duh. I should have seen that.

It may be easier (for us), but taking the easy way out at the expense
of users is not the Mac way. Of course, we must not take away the
user's ability to override our choices, so our script needs to come
before /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/98-user.sh - I have given the
updated attachment a name to reflect this.

if [ $pref_KeyRepeat -gt 67 ]; then pref_KeyRepeat=67; fi
if [ $pref_InitialKeyRepeat -le 120 ]
then
xset r rate $((pref_InitialKeyRepeat * 15)) $((67 / $pref_KeyRepeat))
else
xset r off
