System name:		w20-575-65
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.4G
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What's wrong:

	Certain keyboard characteristics (at least keyclick volume
	and bell volume) are not set to anything on user login -
	they maintain the value that the previous user had.
	(I.e., they are independent of X server incarnation.)

What should have happened:

	I think the user should be able to expect consistent
	behavior when they login. They shouldn't get a bell
	that blows them out of the room on one login, and no
	bell at all on the next. Default values should be set
	for these... Probably by xlogin.
