In particular, XCheckIfEvent seems well suited to this situation--feed in a predicate which specifically finds the repeated KeyPress (matches time, key, etc.). But this can perform unnecessary computation since it checks things with higher times as well, of course--I'm still amazed there is no nonblocking analog to XPeekEvent.
