Remember that 'RepeatKeys' is _not_ part of gnome accessX.  That is
handled by the keyboard capplet.

Having such a split would definitely go a long way towards easing
the massive crowding.

Do we need to differentiate between another app enabling things,
and the magic keystrokes ?  Its easy to catch the change (we already
do).  However, there is no clear cut way to know what caused it.  Eg
even when the settings-daemon changes things the X server notifies
it that the state changed.
