Bill- I don't know what is causing this, but considering that you fixed it by replacing the home dirs indicates to me that it is neither a hardware or a system configuration issue, but a user-specific configuration issue. There are two ways that keyboard layouts can be modified by users (that I know of): through .Xmodmap and through the desktop settings (KDE). I would suggest looking into those to see if they are the culprit. I would suspect that KDE could have strange keyboard settings in kcontrol that is causing the problem, since .Xmodmap is not used that much these days.
