The 'xset r off' behavior is interesting. If I run, as previously identified:

    $ xset r off

I get a hard 'Enter' key repeat that I do not know how to recover from other than rebooting.

If I run instead:

    $ sleep 2 && xset r off

Then I do not get the 'Enter' key repeat. But I do get key repeats again as described in the dup bug I reported #213669. But this is resolvable by running:

    $ xset r on

I am currently not having problem with key repeats unless I run 'xset r off'. And I do not normally have a reason to do so.
