mouse resets to default speed/accell settings after KVM toggle away and back

[Steve McInerney]

Using a simple usb KVM to switch between two machines (both running Intrepid fwiw).

When switching back to the primary machine, the mouse is reset to default speed and accell settings - ie painfully slow.
A workaround is to open and close the mouse settings dialog (gnome-mouse-properties), but obviously this is a pain. Would expect that the settings would continue as before.
