I'm not too knowledgable about KDE (or GNOME, for that matter) myself, but you can try this. If there's some setting that got hosed accidentially, this will recover from it:
1. Have your husband log in at the virtual console 2. Perform: "mv .kde dot-kde" 3. Press alt-f7 to return to X. 4. Hit control-alt-backspace to kill X. 5. X will restart. 6. Have him log in. Hopefully, the keyboard will work since KDE will have to generate new settings.
