What should we do for programs which need controls which don't
repeat? Make a new kind of input device which looks just like a
keyboard but which isn't because keyboard keys repeat, by definition?

I don't want to labour the point, I'm just saying "This is X, stop
trying to treat it like it's sane." Still, for dwm itself my point
isn't a very strong one.
