> Transposing is a major trauma for most french horn players.

That's not my experience. For older music in particular 
French Horn parts are often written in keys other than F. E flat and D
parts are common (Classical stuff) as are parts written in E, C, G and
A (Romantic stuff). A lot of modern parts are written out in F with no
key sig. and lots of accidentals. If I remember correctly transposing
into the some of above keys is a requirement in Associated Board Exams
for French Horn.
