Ta, Simon. I think that indeed means that Emacs does not support it. As for whether someone knows how to make it support it... well I don't. How do other Motif applications behave? AFAIU, Emacs does not use Motif's toplevel loop so it uses a timer interrupt to poll for repeat-events instead, which might lead to some problems, but then again maybe it's just the normal Motif behavior and maybe you can change it via Xresources.
