Still a problem with trusty 14.04.  I use a usb switch to multiplex
input devices between different machines and each time that I switch, I
use all my custom settings are lost:

    setxkbmap -layout de -model pc105 -variant "nodeadkeys" -option "ctrl:nocaps,compose:menu"
    xkbset sticky -twokey latchlock

Title:
  xmodmap settings not getting honored when keyboard devices are
  hotplugged

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

  I use xmodmap to map the caps lock key to the meta key with the
  following in my ~/.Xmodmap:

    !
    ! - map capslock to meta key
    !
    remove Lock = Caps_Lock
    add Mod3 = Caps_Lock

  This works correctly on Intrepid on my lenovo T61's built-in keyboard.
  When I plug in a USB keyboard, caps lock is not mapped to meta, though
  it still is mapped that way on the built-in keyboard. If I then re-run
  xmodmap on my .Xmodmap, caps lock on the USB keyboard gets mapped
  correctly; however, unplugging and re plugging in the USB keyboard
  results in its caps lock key being reset to the unmapped state.

  This worked correctly on hardy.
