It seems that my first speculation is wrong.
I found that the setting file for repeat keys (/home/username/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/%gconf.xml) was changed when I changed the corresponding values using gnome-keyboard-properties. Further I can also change these setting files by gconf-editor. That is to say, the changes are saved but the problem is that those settings are never loaded automatically when a session starts and they are only automatically loaded when you edit the corresponding settings either by gnome-keyboard-properties or gconf-editor. I am not familiar with gconf stuff. I tried gconftool-2 but cannot figure out a way to load these settings automatically.
Maybe someone can help.
By the way, for locale, the setting file for each user is in /home/username/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/%gconf.xml
