keyboard suddenly dead

[Adam Lantos]

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
