[Tfug] Using xset in a front end

[Linux Media]

Hi,

I'm writing a front end in tcl/tk and I'm running into a situation where 
certain hot keys cause tremendous problems if the user has their 
keyboard preferences set to 'auto repeat'. I've tried so many ways to 
get around this auto repeat within tcl/tk and have not been able to find 
a solution internally. So I thought I would use 'xset' to check what the 
current auto repeat setting is, then just toggle auto repeat when the 
user uses that hot key, then back to the state it was in before 
launching the program.

My question is... is 'xset' a standard in all Linux distributions? I 
mean, for instance, I use 'ps' with impunity in my program because I'm 
completely confident that anyone running Linux will have ps. Is xset is 
much a standard as 'ps'?

Thanks,
Rocco
