Public bug reported:
While not doing anything unusual in particular, I used a keyboard
shortcut (left Windows key + X) to start Amarok playing a stream (the
main Amarok window was hidden; only the tray icon was showing).
Thereafter the system acted as if those keys were stuck in: Amarok
periodically (every few seconds) restarted the stream; I couldn't use
the keyboard to type.
I unplugged the keyboard (a USB one) from the computer, but the system
still acted as if the keys were stuck in or being repeatedly pressed.
Sys Rq + R,S,E,I,U,B did work however, after which reboot and upon
logging in, Gnome settings manager (or something similarly named) failed
to start—a warning dialogue was shown; the panels launched upon
dismissing it, with the theme reset to Gnome default. This error didn't
happen (and the theme settings were back to normal) after logging out
and back in.
I have no definite or even approximate steps to reproduce this, and
didn't try to.
