restoring keyboard settings after flipping kvm switch

Hi all, I have made changes in kcontrol > peripherals > keyboard (repeat delay/rate). This works great when I boot up the computer. However, if I use a KVM switch to go to another computer and come back, the keyboard repeat delay and rate are messed up (probably default settings, not my settings.) What can I do about this, so that my keyboard repeat settings will be automatically applied when a (new) keyboard is plugged in / replugged? I can see that it is possible to set something up through udev, but I don't know how to script TDE changes that appear to require the GUI. How to script this? Or perhaps udev is not the right approach? Thanks! ~David.
