keyboard repeat delay long and rate slow after docking

[jamesk]

Everytime I undock and redock my thinkpad the Keyboard repeate rate and repeat delay are set to some slow value. Even though MS Windows XP's Keyboard Properties panel shows it set to the maximum I have to change it to make it take again. I don't know if it's a problem with Windows, the mini-dock, keyboard (not USB), BIOS, or the thinkpad itself.
I noticed this problem with my old T30 as well as my current T42p.
Anyone else experience this and Is there a fix for this?
