This is Xwayland bug. Xwayland does not implement key-repating at all

Comment 2 mchalupa 2015-08-17 09:41:24 UTC
sent a patch to devel list to fix it

Comment 3 Chester 2015-08-19 12:00:42 UTC
Thanks, I think the fix made it into Fedora 22. Key repeat settings are working for gnome-terminal. Unfortunately, it isn't working for some apps, like xterm.  I've started using xterm over gnome-terminal because of a separate wayland+gnome issue:

Nope, the patch is still hanging on list, that's why it's not working with xterm. Gnome-terminal just started using pure wayland instead of Xwayland I think.

The patch got merged upstream
