Public bug reported:
Since a point after upgrading to Ibex but on or before November 30th,
I've had a problem with keyboard input. I use a Logitech Cordless
Desktop Pro wireless USB keyboard.
Sometimes, always in X and always while logged in, the keyboard will
stop responding to most key presses. I can't type; the orange highlight
around text boxes disappears and menus don't drop down any more.
However, I can still switch to another console with ctrl-alt-F1; I can
still kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace; and I can still bring up the log
out dialog with ctrl-alt-del. Doing so restores full keyboard
functionality, but usually only briefly. I can also provoke the problem
by moving the keyboard out of range of the receiver. Moving it back
into range and pressing the keyboard's connect button brings the
keyboard back, but the problem always recurs after a few seconds. The
problem also occurs after a few seconds if I press the connect button
while the keyboard is in range. Only the connect button causes the
problem - the multimedia keys behave like any other key.
I initially suspected gnome-power-manager, but killing GPM doesn't stop
the problem.
