HEAD GDK implements this using XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat() if
available and emulates by discarding key events with the same
timestamp/keycode/state otherwise.

There's also button animation stuff but it just animates with a
timeout right now, it doesn't allow cancellation. (This might be
tricky because the key press is going via binding set, activation
isn't done in the button key press handler.)
