Doh! I made two nifty scripts for setting the keyboard automatically,
but neither works. When /usr/lib/hal/debian-setup-keyboard runs in
response to a keyboard being plugged in, it doesn't know which user
plugged in the keyboard or which display they're using. Therefore, it
can't get the keyboard preferences. There's a reason why this doesn't
work right. It's hard!

Perhaps there's a way to get hal to notify the gconf daemon to force it
to reapply the user's preferences?

P.S. All this is way beyond me. If you experts want to chime in with a
few hints about where to look, I'd sure appreciate it.
