XKB settings lost after suspend/resume / not taken into account for new keyboard

Description

I have personal XKB settings. From my .initrc file:

xkbcomp -w0 -IHOME/.xkb -RHOME/.xkb keymap/custom $DISPLAY

Most often they are lost after suspend/resume on my DELL Latitude E6400 laptop. Moreover when I plug-in a USB keyboard, these settings are not taken into account for this keyboard (the laptop keyboard remains unaffected).

After resume, I can run

xkbcomp -w0 -IHOME/.xkb -RHOME/.xkb keymap/custom $DISPLAY

again without quitting the X session, but some running X clients do not take all new settings into account (problem with modifier keys?).

I originally reported the bug on:

where you can find additional details.
