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?

udev wouldnt help there - kvm switching is usually invisible to computer. Write a command using xset to set desired repeat rate and delay and put it somewhere on panel.

My have a following commands in it, usefull not only for kvm but also to fix wine/vmware messing keyboard/mouse.

setxkbmap xset r rate 250 30 m 20/10 4
