that's because e has no code to set keyboard repeat rate or delay in x.... it
doesn't exist. those values only are effective when e is in wayland compositor
mode. e has never had code to set this in x... it's actually a missing feature
that;s been missing for a very long time. efl too has no code to do this in x
(in ecore_x). :)
