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.)
