Public bug reported:
All out of a sudden, my keyboard and mouse behaved very weird:
1. I cannot left-click application menus of programs anymore: the cursor turns
into a (dragging) hand, and I can only move the whole window, but the
application menu does not pop up.
2. I can right- and left-click icons on the desktop, but cannot do the same in
a window: right-licking triggers "resize", left-clicking triggers "move".
3. Keyboard input gets completely ignored, even ctrl-alt-backspace (for
restarting X) or ctrl-alt-f1.
4. I cannot click any buttons (e.g. "OK" or "Cancel"), but clicking the
windows/dialogs cross in the upper right cancels a dialog or closes a window
5. "Lock session" does not work anymore: it just does nothing. Only "Start new
session..." was able to rescue me.
This appeared to have started after I've rightclicked on the amarok tray icon
(which stopped playing unexpectedly)
No tray menu popped up, but amarok kept not responding and mouse/keyboard
(input) started behaving weird. But I'm not sure, about when it started exactly.
I could launch a new session from the desktop's "New session..." menu,
where the input devices now work as expected.
It seems like kdm (or whatever controls the input devices) gets stuck in some
weird state, e.g. like it thinks some modifier is held down all the time.
Therefor I've tried pressing various combinations of ctrl, alt, shift and
escape - even together with the mouse buttons.
I'm using KDM (Kubuntu) and USB mice and keyboard.
