The first problem could be solved by updating xfce4-settings to 4.11.0
(works fine here with xfce-4.10) or git master. I had similar problems
after suspend/resume, when keyboard rate/delay settings had been lost.

For the xmodmap problem... You could hook that command (or maybe
better a script that handles this) up with udev events, or edit your
xkeyboard-config files so that xmodmap becomes redundant. Both
solutions might be rather complicated, but maybe you're lucky and
xfce4-settings-4.11.0 solves this too without requiring any further
changes.
