(Linux) Lowering repeat delay breaks emergency force stop shortcut or applies without Kanata running.

[IndigoGollum]

Requirements

• I've searched platform-specific issues, issues and discussions to see if this has been reported before.
• My issue is unrelated to multiple key presses, OR it is and I've confirmed it is not key ghosting.

Describe the bug

Setting the repeat delay in linux-x11-repeat-delay-rate in defcfg too low (in this case, i set it to 40,50 once and 300,50 later) stops the lctl-space-escape shortcut from stopping Kanata. I stopped the program after breaking it by increasing the delay in the config, loading the layout again, and then using the normal shortcut.

I tested this once after discovering it and in that test, Kanata said it closed but then the delay rate set in my config applied to my computer's default layout without Kanata running. I fixed this the same way as before.

Relevant kanata config

(defcfg
linux-x11-repeat-delay-rate 40,50
)

To Reproduce

1.Set the first number in linux-x11-repeat-delay-rate to something very low. Save the config then fix it and leave that change unsaved, so you can fix it without typing. Higher values below 400 are easier to recover from.
2.Load Kanata with this config file.
3.Try to close Kanata.

Expected behavior

Pressing left control + space + escape while Kanata is running should stop Kanata regardless of what's in my config.

I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with control+space+escape not working, but rather linux-x11-repeat-delay-rate not being reverted upon exit.

looking at the implementation, we're simply calling xset r rate command, which is an external command that will not revert itself when kanata exits
