alt/win key behavior is lost when plugging in a usb a keyboard

[Brian Takita]

Binary package hint: gnome

I have "Control is mapped to Win keys (and the usual Ctrl keys)." set as a keyboard option.

Whenever my keyboard resets or when I plug it in, the setting doesn't work. Its still selected, but it just does not work.

To fix this, I have to select another option and then select the "Control is mapped to Win keys (and the usual Ctrl keys)." option and it works again.

Hmm, this is killing me.

Is there a script I can use to retrigger the keyboard options?
