Public bug reported:

XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat doesn't have any effect; when autorepeating,
keys are still sending both KeyPress and KeyRelease messages, even
though with DetectableAutoRepeat set they should only keep sending
KeyPress events.

This bug affects at least windows programs running under Wine that need
to ignore autorepeat, such as World of Warcraft.

There are two open bugs under bugs.freedesktop.org
(http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22194 and
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22515) about
XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat not working, both filled in june, one
reported under Ubuntu and the other for the GIT version, so the bug
might still be present upstream.
