Comment(by pgf):

 i believe this is working as intended.  disable the "xset -r ...." command
 in /usr/bin/olpc-session, and repeat will function fully.  i believe
 disabling repeat was done for the sake of the children, but i can't say
 for sure -- the behavior pre-dates my time at OLPC.  (ah -- see #1201)

 i just checked an XO-1 running 10.1.3 (build 360), and another running
 something much older, and both have repeating arrows and backspaces, but
 not printing characters.  (i'm referring to X behavior -- repeating works
 fully in a VT console.)

 however, i do see that 11.3.0 builds, both os1 and os2, have full
 repeating -- which implies a bug, since i think olpc-session there should
 be the same.
