The visible issue is that gnome-settings-daemon does not reconfigure USB kbd when it is plugged out-in.
The reason for that is that libxklavier is not notified about XInput event.
The root cause for that is (most probably, I am 99% sure) that libxklavier is built without xinput support. I checked libxklavier 3.9 on my system - it works ok with custom-built .so. But it does not work with existing jaunty .deb. Just rebuilding should be enough, just make sure it detected xinput headers - it is visible in the configure output).
