Setting keyboard repeat rates on hotplug
When I plug in a USB keyboard, the repeat rates are initially set to the defaults contrary to the XFCE4 settings. To apply the settings that should be there, I have to move one of the sliders a little bit and move it back. Is there a way I can make the keyboard settings apply to hotplugged keyboards?

Probably want a udev rule that runs e.g.:
xset r rate 500 25 -display :0That should be OK to just run as root, with some xorg environment:

Hm, perhaps I could write a small script for my user that reads my settings and applies them like this. Seems like something XFCE4 should be taking care of.
