Description of problem: Sometimes KDE stops receiving keyboard input. Mouse works ok, and so do the rest of applications. However, no keyboard input passes to the applications. I've observed this 3 times, each time in case of different activity (Konqueror, Konsole, MPlayer). Hitting ctrl-alt-backspace kills X server successfully, though. I also was able to log out from KDE session that brought me to the KDM login prompt; keyboard started responding again. Last time it happened I also noticed that the keyboard layout switcher's icon disappeared in the system tray when the keyboard hung. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdelibs-3.0.3-8 Though I am not sure which component is in charge of this... How reproducible: Hardly; usually happens in 3-4 days of X session uptime.
Could you please tell me how i can produce this bug? There is new kde 3.1.1 for 8.0 on ftp.kde.org. Could you please try kde-3.1.1 from ftp.kde.org. Does it fix this problem for you?
I cannot reproduce it reliably, it just happens from time to time. I'll try the recent KDE packages and see if it helps.
Seems that upgrading to 3.1.1 solves this problem. A week has passed withough any evidence of such mishaps.
