 Young children learning to type can find autorepeating keys a PITA.

 But a few keys want to autorepeat. (e.g. space bar, game keys, arrow keys,
 erase).

 And right now some keys that *really* shouldn't autorepeat do: e.g. the
 rotate button, and keys that invoke functions like launching applications,
 etc.

 So this makes ebook mode entry/exit much more sane, and I think will be
 easier for young kids to deal with.

 Attached is the "one line" command to put into a the script that launches
 X (must be run after the X server is running).

 And besides, I should write at least one line of code for this release;
 just happens to be one line of shell, though not the shortest you've ever
 seen ;-).
