Bug#661754: x11-xkb-utils: setxkbmap and xkbcomp settings do not apply to new keyboards



Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.6+4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

My desktop can finally suspend and resume properly, which makes me very happy,
but let me discover a new obstacle: upon resume my keybard settings are lost
and I have to re-apply my xkbcomp setting every time.

The same can be seen without suspend&resume:

   % setxkbmap -model 'thinkpad(60)'
   % setxkbmap -query
   rules:      evdev
   model:      thinkpad(60)
   layout:     us
   % <unplug the (USB) keyboard, and plug it back in>
   % setxkbmap -query
   rules:      evdev
   model:      pc105
   layout:     us
   %

It seems that setxkbmap only affects the current InputDevice, whereas
I'd like to affect a whole InputClass, but I don't know how/where
to specify which inputs devices should be affected.
Where are the equivalent of xorg.conf's MatchIsKeyboard/MatchProduct/...?
Tho to tell you the truth, I don't need to distinguish input devices,
all I want is for my settings to apply to *all* keyboards (which
is only ever a single keyboard but which might get unplugged/replugged).
