  Maybe the easiest, in my case, is to simply turn off X Window auto
repeat.
  And perhaps a way to make isARepeat work would be to also turn off X
Window auto repeat and generate repeats inside GNUstep. But maybe it would
turn off the repeat for all application running on X at the same time,
which is a bad idea.
