I was gonna go there next.  I was thinking we'd probably have to go 
with a window manager that could use single button clicks with a desktop
manager of some sort.  waste of real-estate however...

oh yeah. I forgot about that.  I put 'xset r off' in my .xinitrc to get
over that.  Maybe that was foiling my attempts to debug my problem. Or
rather, was a side-effect of the real problem. It stands to reason that
if keypress/keyrelease events get out of sync, there'd be repetition.

Anyway....

Cool.  I'm not in a position to be able to compile Xhpc. Can you put a
binary somewhere?


Thanks for the efforts.
