This brigns me to a problem. First be warned I am using libggi.so.1.4.0, so
this might have changed.

I was listening for keyrepeats under the X target.  Now X doesn't generate
keyrepeat events but fakes them with Release-Press pairs, this is cool.
The libggi X targets however seems to fake them with a Press-Release pair!
(Or maybe someone is dropping an event and going out of sync with X, I didn't
check the timestamps).  

This is confusing as all hell because it means that after the keyrepeat, the
application has to assume the key is _unpressed_.  This is not good.
