Keyboard Character Repeat preferences are not applied after boot.

[juj]

STR:

1. Navigate to Menu->Preferences->Mouse and Keyboard Settings
2. In the Keyboard tab, choose Repeat interval: 10 and Repeat delay: 100. (btw, this dialog should show the units, are these msecs?)
3. Click ok to close the window, then open a new LXTerminal window, and verify that the character repeat setting is insanely fast.
4. Power down the raspbian from Menu->Shutdown->Shutdown.
5. Disconnect and reconnect the USB connector to reboot.
6. Once Raspbian has booted back to desktop, open a LXTerminal window, and verify that the character repeat setting is not preserved across reboot, but the repeat delay is back to the slow/default setting. (note that going to the preferences menu, the delays do show the correct changed values 10 and 100, but they haven't been applied at boot)

Can you reproduce this with stretch or buster?
