I had the same problem, I suspect it's a KDE bug - my colleague suggested to switch krunner to task oriented interface and back to command oriented. It helped, keyboard was working again after this.
I didn't ask him how he found this solution, but he reported it in KDE bugzilla. cheers, Adam On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 6:46 PM, Hanno Böck <ha...@hboeck.de> wrote: > Hi, > > I had a quite strange problem, it's not reproducible, but it happened twice, > so I thought I'll report it, no idea how to investigate it further. > > Just suddenly, my keyboard in X stopped working.
