In addition to what Peter said, I think this suboption is named poorly.
Maybe it can be named, say, kbddelay, or keydelay, or something like that.
Just "delay" may be interpreted as _video_ delay, ie, delay updating picture
for so many millisecs.  After all, this is -display, which is about video,
and keyboard is a secondary function...

Also, you still haven't told us what application is having problem with it,
it is some mystery "some app".  And provided this hasn't been a problem for
so many years, maybe we shouldn't add it in the first place?

Thanks,

/mjt
