Comment 43 for bug 287215

I've been doing a little more investigating. I'm pretty sure this issue is this:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25262

So, if I understand this correctly, this won't/can't be fixed in X and has to be handled by your desktop environment.

It does seem to me that there probably is a way to set the default rates/keymaps. If anyone knows what the canonical way to do that is, I'd love to know!
