Can you also fix it without restarting X by changing the key repeat rate in the keyboard control panel (both gnome and kde offer guis for this)? I wouldn't be surprised if what's actually happening is that the X server is changing the repeat rate because of something else that just coincidentally happens at the same time as your reboot of the win98 box - like the screensaver kicking in.
