Here's what I do:

I've got a shell script with the following contents which I invoke:

    #!/bin/sh
    exec openwin -ar1 400 -ar2 25 -dur 200 -nobanner

I've got a file .xinitrc which starts up whatever clients I like, fvwm
being one of them. I think .xinitrc should be chmod u+x.

"-ar1 400" means wait 400 ms before autorepeat of keys cuts in. "-ar2
25" means repeat every 25 ms. "-dur 200" means a BEL lasts 200 ms.
"-nobanner" means start up without the usual OW banner.

IMHO using the openwin script has the advantage that you automagically
use MIT-Magic-Cookie-1 rather than xhost authorization, which is more
secure.

regards,
kai
