recompiling openbox with patches i probably the best solution.

you can also try to wrap every keyboard shortcut command in a script 
like this:


#!/bin/sh

xset r off

$@

sleep 3

xset r on

exit 0

where you would pass the complete command you want to execute.

not tested.

likely you are going to have to play with double quotes around the 
command line or "$@" or both to get it right.

you also have to decide what is an acceptable delay before you switch 
the keyboard repeat on again.
