By very few people (due to an unusual USB keyboard), but this is
extremely annoying: each time the USB keyboard is reconnected,
which can occur quite often for a laptop one uses at home and
at work, all the xterms need to be quit and started again.

BTW, it seems that the issue that needs xkb setting change with
this keyboard is now handled at the driver level via the module
option "options hid_apple swap_opt_cmd=1" (actually for quite a
long time, but this was not the case yet when I reported the bug
in 2012... I'll have to try):
