Nobody has replied, but I just did it! The net came up with these commands:

# set key repeat rate. delay 280 millisecond, 40 per sec
xset r rate 280 40
# set key repeat rate to default. 25 per sec, 660 milisecond delay
xset r rate

Note that I have Ctrl-Shift-u enabled in Settings. I started with the
default command 'xset r rate,' and it executed without error. Then I
held down a key and it repeated! Fearing the the command had unset
Ctrl-Shift-u I then tried Ctrl-Shift-u, and it still worked! I have both
enabled!

Further experimentation is required to see if the order in which these
settings are enabled matters. Or maybe there is a command to enable
Ctrl-Shift-u. (I did it from the Xfce GUI Settings Manager.)
