The third parameter to XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat is an out parameter
that tells you that ... the location it points to will be set to false
if it is not supported.

(This is from memory and a quick glance at the GTK+ code ... see the
XKB docs for details. GTK+ actually checks for the presence of the
XKB extension first with XkbQueryExtension(), but I don't think that's
necessary if you just want to use this call. GTK+ is doing other stuff
as well.)
