Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I swap my caps lock and backspace keys using xmodmap, and I use xset to change the repeat settings accordingly.
This all worked fine in Ubuntu 9.10.

In 10.04 beta 1, the repeat settings for caps lock and backspace are
lost whenever I use the multimedia keys or brightness keys on my
keyboard. Then I use xset again and they're fine until I touch one of
those keys again.

To repeat:
1) run
xset -r 22
xset r 66
2) observe changed repeat settings in caps lock and backspace keys
3) press multimedia buttons
4) observe repeat settings have reverted

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 9400.
