Bug#181423: xserver-xfree86: [core server] should not chan..

Currently, it seems that if I use X and then log in to a VC, the Debian
default rate is on. But I can set the rate and delay via /sbin/kbdrate,
and go back to X and then return to the VC with my (modified) preferred
rate still OK. However, I have to become root to run /sbin/kbdrate;
otherwise I get an "Operation not permitted" error.

I've put /sbin/kbdrate in root's .bash_profile, so that if I log in as
root before logging in as myself on a different VC, the rates will be OK.

If I log in to a VC and set the rate I like before bringing up X, when
I return to the VC the rates are OK.

I'll check on my other Debian box later today and make sure it behaves the
same way.
