I have the lacie 20" monitor (which is a very good alternative to the apple 20" BTW), and its built-in usb hub can't handle the apple keyboard either. It kind of makes sense in a way. It is an unpowered hub plugged into a unpowered hub. Me thinks it is more an issue of the hub in the monitor being passive than the order in which the computer checks things out...but that is just from the experiences i have had. try some different setups and see what happens.
