I swapped the "30" and the "4", it is is better still.  Auto-repeat of
normal keys is ok (I think - didn't test extensively).
control/shift is still a problem, though not quite as a bad

When I hold right-control down, evtest shows:

Event: time 1061335715.975639, type 1 (Key), code 97 (RightCtrl), value 1

so if I type another char between 30ms and 500ms after pressing
control, the control isn't noticed, else it is.
