FYI
the XKB options relevant are:

XkbSetStickyKeysOptions (display, device_spec, mask, values);

with the following mask bit:

XkbAX_TwoKeysMask

controls the "turn off when two keys pressed at once" behavior.

There is an AccessX control called "AccessXTimeout", controlled by 
XkbAccessXTimeoutMask; the following bits in the XkbControlsRec data
field affect it:

ax_timeout (boolean, does accessx time out or not)
axt_opts_mask axt_controls_mask, axt_opts_values, axt_controls_values.

the usual way of setting this timeout (and determining which AccessX
features are affected by the timeout) is via

XkbSetAccessXTimeout (display, device_spec, timeout, ctrls_mask,
ctrls_values, opts_mask, opts_values).
