I am running X11R4 on a Sun 386i under SunOS 4.0.2.  Since
installing X11, I have noticed that the amount of time that
a key needs to be depressed before it starts autorepeating
is significantly less than it was under X10.  The result is
I tend to get a lot of unintentional double characters when
I type.  I know I can disable autorepeat entirely, but being
able to adjust the autorepeat delay, either from a user 
settable parameter or via a compile time option would be
much preferable.  Does anyone know how this could be done?

Reply via e-mail preferred, our news connection is quite
flakey at the moment.

Thanks,
