However, when I had a RHELv4 system with a wired PS2 keyboard I noticed that the keyboard would become non-responsive if it were unplugged/plugged.  The X server would lose connection to it and would not re-establish a connection until a logout (which restarts the X server).

Interesting.  I was wondering about the PS2 keyboard, but my memory told 
me that you had to reboot if it came unplugged.  Guess that must be 
Windows-specific.
