Description Rodd Clarkson 2004-04-01 02:05:26 UTC 
When I upgrade from control-center-2.5.4 to control-center-2.6.0[.x] my keyboard
no longer works properly in gnome.  Each keystroke has some effect on the
screen, but nothing is inputted to gnome-terminal, gedit, evolution composer, etc.

If I back down to control-center-2.5.4 everything works again.  (There is a
restart between each version change).
Comment 1 Martin Wehner 2004-04-01 02:23:10 UTC 
I'm having the same problem. It started when I rebuild the whole gnome stack
from cvs about 5-7 days ago.
Comment 2 Rodd Clarkson 2004-04-01 02:26:59 UTC 
I've only upgraded control-center, libxklavier and gnome-desktop.

libxklavier went from 0.97 to 1.00 as a requirement for control-center-2.6.x
gnome-desktop went from 2.6.0 ro 2.6.0.1

Backing control-center back to 2.5.4 from both 2.6.0 and 2.6.0.2 fixed the
problem (without having to back down to libxklavier-0.97).
Comment 3 Jody Goldberg 2004-04-01 05:10:47 UTC 
Please expand on what you mean by

'each keystroke has some effect on the screen but nothing is input'

What is the effect if no character appears ?
Do you have any keybindings set ?
What version of X (and which distro) ?
Are you using changing the xkb layout ?
Comment 4 Martin Wehner 2004-04-01 05:32:38 UTC 
In gnome-terminal the cursor flashes with every keypress but no character is
displayed.

I have no keybindings besides some acme multimedia keys. (Vol+/-)
I'm using the XFree-*-4.3.0-64 packages from Fedora Core Rawhide.
Distro is FC Rawhide (FC2-T2 basically atm, except the Xorg packages).
I'm using a german keymap.
Comment 5 Andrew Sobala 2004-04-01 12:12:58 UTC 
Marking this as 2.6.x, sounds evil.
Comment 6 Jody Goldberg 2004-04-01 14:03:48 UTC 
Patched.
Emergency release of 2.6.0.3
